Facebook Account Hacking Blues
cyber judiciary beginner case_analysisMy cousin's FB account got hacked a few days ago and some weird status updates were posted. The hacker used the same profile picture, but changed the cover photo and added a bunch of fake friends. My cousin freaked out because he thought his account had been compromised by someone he knows.
He changed his password and reported the incident to Facebook, but they said it was a common issue and he should just be more careful. Now he's worried that his friends might think he's crazy because of those fake status updates. He wants to know how to get his friends to believe him and whether he can sue Facebook for not taking his account security seriously.
So, what's the legal remedy here? Can my cousin sue Facebook for negligence or something?

Haan, koi to hai jo Facebook account hack kar raha hota hai. Ye Cyber Crime Act 2000 aur IT Act 2000 ke under aata hai. Sabse pahle, apne account mein password aur 2-Factor Authentication (2FA) enable kare. Agar koi bhi hacking attempt ho, toh FB ki reporting mechanism ka istemaal kare. Aur, agar account hack ho gaya hai, toh FIR karein aur cyber crime cell se sampaark karein.
Yaar, hacking blues on Facebook woh kuch alag hi baat hai. Agar aapka account hack hogya hai, toh phir aapko immediate action lena hoga. Pehle, Facebook ke customer care par call karke report karein. Fir, account khatam karne ke lie steps follow karein. Aur last, password aur security questions ko badalne ke baad hi apna account restore karein. Yeh sab kuch karein, aapka account safe ho jayega.
