The hacker will first need their victim’s phone,number and device information, to accomplish snooping.
The hacker would click on forgot password,on the Facebook welcome page before providing the victim’s phone number during the recovery,account process. The hacker would then manipulate the sms verification code to his own device; easily using that code,in taking down the Facebook or any other social media account associated.
However, there are some ways in which,you can secure yourself from this kind attack. Firstly, disconnect or remove your phone number from,the respective Facebook account. Secondly, you can also use a 2 factor authentication, which doesn’t use sms verification. You should also,use end to end encryption, to secure data on your device.
