Have you thought about creating a Facebook account? Maybe you haven't decided to join this social network yet, but you're curious. Or maybe you're looking to create a Facebook Business page? Or perhaps you already use it regularly but want to know how you can further customize your account and better configure your privacy settings.
The first thing you'll need to do to create a Facebook account is to install the Facebook application on your cell phone. To do this, go to the corresponding app store (App Store for iPhones and Google Play for Android phones), find the Facebook application and download it.
how to register for a facebook account
If you have followed the steps above, you have already managed to create your own Facebook account. Welcome! Let's see how to use this social network and take advantage of the different options it offers.
Your Facebook account is like an online letter of introduction, which serves as a way for other users to find you. That's why, after creating your account, the next thing you need to do is to personalize it.
A Facebook Business Page is a free opportunity for businesses to increase brand awareness and generate sales on Facebook. To create a Facebook Business Page, simply log into your personal Facebook account, click "Create a Page" from the drop-down menu, and then follow the steps to build out your business profile.
Facebook business pages are created using a personal Facebook account, so you'll need to first log in to your Facebook account. In the right-hand side of the blue toolbar, find and click the "Create" button.
Next, consider uploading a cover photo. A cover photo is the background image that appears on your Facebook Business Page, similar to your personal Facebook account. You want your cover photo to be visually appealing and representative of your business. Your cover photo should be at least 400 pixels wide by 150 pixels tall. You can check out our list of Facebook page templates for your small business.

I witnessed an interesting attack today. Someone was able to register a new Facebook account with the email address of a friend of mine. We don't know how it happened, because Facebook requires you to click on a confirmation link to use an email address. Maybe the attacker got access to the mailbox somehow.
The interesting question for me is, why would someone do this? It is easy to create a free email address within minutes. Why does the attacker use the email address of someone else? It is no impersonation scenario, because the Facebook account has a totally different name than my friend. I cannot think of a reasonable scenario that makes stealing an email address for creating a Facebook account worth the effort. Am I missing something?
Update: First of all, no one from Facebook responded to our abuse message. Nevertheless the fake account was gone after several days - we have no idea if Facebook took active measures against this account or not.
I didn't think about the obvious counter measure against this fake account when the incident happened but this idea might be interesting to others facing a similar problem. If someone registers an account with your email address, there's nothing easier than resetting the password of this account and access/delete it - you are the owner of the email address bound to the account and the "lost password" function plays into your hands. I am not sure if this would be 100% legal though - depends on the question if the account is actually yours, if your email address is bound to it.
Since we can assume the attacker probably had access to his email, he probably had access to his address-book as well and he could have requested friendship (search for friends by email address) from all the people that had a facebook account registered to one of the email addresses from that address-book (some of those requests would succeed). Despite having a different name (lots of people don't use their real names on facebook), lots of people would accept the invite either blindly or since they would see they had friends in common (the ones that accepted blindly). After that, he would have access to additional data about all that other people, etc..
I would do that if I wanted to stay completely anonymous. Fake data or stolen data isn't yours, since you can't register without providing some data about yourself, try to use a fake or stolen email address.
