"Facebook Protect is a program that helps to protect users whose accounts are under high threat of compromise," the company said in a statement to RIA Novosti.

It is noted that the platform will allow you to configure more reliable ways to protect your account and track potential hacking threats.

“This program is one of the measures that we are taking to prevent hacking of accounts,” the company concluded.

The press service noted that users who are covered by Facebook Protect will see notifications on the social network with a proposal to study the terms of the program and, if they wish, to take part in it.

Earlier, the head of the company, Mark Zuckerberg, announced attempts to slander Facebook.
