If someone has hacked your Facebook account and changed your email, password, and phone number, it can be a stressful {+𝟭}𝟴𝟱𝟱-𝟰𝟳𝟬-𝟯𝟲𝟬𝟮] 𝙐𝙎 𝟲𝟱𝟬 𝟱𝟰𝟯-𝟰𝟴𝟬𝟬 𝙐𝙆 situation. The hacker can lock you out of your account, and you may feel vulnerable if they misuse your personal information. However, there are steps you can take to recover your account and secure it to prevent {+𝟭}𝟴𝟱𝟱-𝟰𝟳𝟬-𝟯𝟲𝟬𝟮] 𝙐𝙎 𝟲𝟱𝟬 𝟱𝟰𝟯-𝟰𝟴𝟬𝟬 𝙐𝙆  further issues. Here’s what to do if your Facebook account is hacked.

1. Act Quickly and Go to Facebook’s Recovery Page

The sooner you act, the higher the chances you have of regaining control of your account. Facebook has a dedicated {+𝟭}𝟴𝟱𝟱-𝟰𝟳𝟬-𝟯𝟲𝟬𝟮] 𝙐𝙎 𝟲𝟱𝟬 𝟱𝟰𝟯-𝟰𝟴𝟬𝟬 𝙐𝙆 recovery page for compromised accounts.

  • Go to Facebook’s Hacked Account page.
  • Facebook will ask you to enter the email or phone number associated  {+𝟭}𝟴𝟱𝟱-𝟰𝟳𝟬-𝟯𝟲𝟬𝟮] 𝙐𝙎 𝟲𝟱𝟬 𝟱𝟰𝟯-𝟰𝟴𝟬𝟬 𝙐𝙆 with your account. If the hacker has changed these, click “I don’t have access to these anymore.”
  • Follow the prompts to reset your account. Facebook will then give you the option to enter a new email address {+𝟭}𝟴𝟱𝟱-𝟰𝟳𝟬-𝟯𝟲𝟬𝟮] 𝙐𝙎 𝟲𝟱𝟬 𝟱𝟰𝟯-𝟰𝟴𝟬𝟬 𝙐𝙆 where they can send recovery instructions.

2. Try Using Trusted Contacts

If you had set up trusted contacts before your account was compromised,  {+𝟭}𝟴𝟱𝟱-𝟰𝟳𝟬-𝟯𝟲𝟬𝟮] 𝙐𝙎 𝟲𝟱𝟬 𝟱𝟰𝟯-𝟰𝟴𝟬𝟬 𝙐𝙆 you can use them to help recover your account. Trusted contacts are friends you’ve selected who can provide you with a recovery code.

To use trusted contacts:

  • If you’ve already selected trusted contacts, follow the recovery process on Facebook’s page.
  • Facebook will give you an option to reach out to your {+𝟭}𝟴𝟱𝟱-𝟰𝟳𝟬-𝟯𝟲𝟬𝟮] 𝙐𝙎 𝟲𝟱𝟬 𝟱𝟰𝟯-𝟰𝟴𝟬𝟬 𝙐𝙆  trusted contacts. They’ll send you a code that you can use to regain access.

3. Verify Your Identity

If the recovery options above don’t work, Facebook may ask you {+𝟭}𝟴𝟱𝟱-𝟰𝟳𝟬-𝟯𝟲𝟬𝟮] 𝙐𝙎 𝟲𝟱𝟬 𝟱𝟰𝟯-𝟰𝟴𝟬𝟬 𝙐𝙆  to verify your identity. This typically involves submitting a government-issued photo ID to prove that you’re the rightful owner of the account.

  • Facebook will ask you to upload a scan or clear photo of your ID.
  • Once your identity is verified, Facebook  {+𝟭}𝟴𝟱𝟱-𝟰𝟳𝟬-𝟯𝟲𝟬𝟮] 𝙐𝙎 𝟲𝟱𝟬 𝟱𝟰𝟯-𝟰𝟴𝟬𝟬 𝙐𝙆 will grant you access to your account.

This process might take a few days, so be patient as Facebook reviews your information.

4. Secure Your Account

Once you regain access to your account, it’s crucial to secure it to prevent further issues. Here are the steps you should take:

  • Change your password to something strong and unique. Use a combination  {+𝟭}𝟴𝟱𝟱-𝟰𝟳𝟬-𝟯𝟲𝟬𝟮] 𝙐𝙎 𝟲𝟱𝟬 𝟱𝟰𝟯-𝟰𝟴𝟬𝟬 𝙐𝙆 of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.
  • Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for added security. This requires a code sent to your phone or email every time you log in from a new device.
  • Review recent activity on your Facebook account to check for any unauthorized posts, messages, or changes made by the hacker.
  • Update your email and phone number to ensure they {+𝟭}𝟴𝟱𝟱-𝟰𝟳𝟬-𝟯𝟲𝟬𝟮] 𝙐𝙎 𝟲𝟱𝟬 𝟱𝟰𝟯-𝟰𝟴𝟬𝟬 𝙐𝙆 are correct and only accessible by you.

5. Check Your Devices and Logout of All Sessions

If the hacker had access to your Facebook account from different devices, it’s important to log out of all sessions.

To do this:

  • Go to Settings > Security and Login.
  • Under Where You're Logged In, review the devices that have accessed  {+𝟭}𝟴𝟱𝟱-𝟰𝟳𝟬-𝟯𝟲𝟬𝟮] 𝙐𝙎 𝟲𝟱𝟬 𝟱𝟰𝟯-𝟰𝟴𝟬𝟬 𝙐𝙆 your account. Log out of any unfamiliar devices.

6. Notify Friends and Family

Let your friends and family know that your account was hacked. The hacker may have sent {+𝟭}𝟴𝟱𝟱-𝟰𝟳𝟬-𝟯𝟲𝟬𝟮] 𝙐𝙎 𝟲𝟱𝟬 𝟱𝟰𝟯-𝟰𝟴𝟬𝟬 𝙐𝙆  spam messages or malicious links from your account, and it’s important to warn your contacts so they don’t fall for scams.

7. Contact Facebook Support (If Needed)

If you’re still unable to recover your account or if your issue is more complex, {+𝟭}𝟴𝟱𝟱-𝟰𝟳𝟬-𝟯𝟲𝟬𝟮] 𝙐𝙎 𝟲𝟱𝟬 𝟱𝟰𝟯-𝟰𝟴𝟬𝟬 𝙐𝙆  you can try reaching out to Facebook support. While Facebook doesn’t have a direct customer service number for most users, you can report a problem through the Help Center or Business Help Center {+𝟭}𝟴𝟱𝟱-𝟰𝟳𝟬-𝟯𝟲𝟬𝟮] 𝙐𝙎 𝟲𝟱𝟬 𝟱𝟰𝟯-𝟰𝟴𝟬𝟬 𝙐𝙆  if you’re using Facebook for business purposes.

Conclusion:

A hacked Facebook account can be a stressful situation, {+𝟭}𝟴𝟱𝟱-𝟰𝟳𝟬-𝟯𝟲𝟬𝟮] 𝙐𝙎 𝟲𝟱𝟬 𝟱𝟰𝟯-𝟰𝟴𝟬𝟬 𝙐𝙆 but by acting quickly, using Facebook’s recovery tools, and securing your account, you can regain control. Always be vigilant about securing your account by using strong passwords {+𝟭}𝟴𝟱𝟱-𝟰𝟳𝟬-𝟯𝟲𝟬𝟮] 𝙐𝙎 𝟲𝟱𝟬 𝟱𝟰𝟯-𝟰𝟴𝟬𝟬 𝙐𝙆  and enabling two-factor authentication to prevent future hacks.
