About Course

Facebook is a lovely way to keep up with family and friends, but it pays to control who sees what you share and to keep your account safe from hackers. This course follows advice from the National Cyber Security Centre and the government’s Stop! Think Fraud campaign: privacy settings, strong passwords and two-step verification, spotting fake friend requests and what to do if an account is hacked.

Tutwoo is an independent learning provider. This course gives general information for older people and their families, based on published guidance from the NCSC and HM Government. Facebook menus change from time to time. Tutwoo is not connected with Facebook or Meta.
