When your Facebook account falls prey to hackers, it's not just a nuisance—it's a serious breach that can lead to identity theft and financial loss. But with prompt and professional assistance, you can protect your data and recover control.

Immediate Steps for Compromised Facebook Accounts

If you find your Facebook access in jeopardy, here's what to do immediately:

1. Check Active Sessions: Look through all devices for any active Facebook sessions. Regaining control may be as simple as using an overlooked device.
2. Start Recovery: Use facebook.com/login/identify from a device and browser you've used before. This familiarity can help streamline the recovery process.
3. Email Security: Hackers often hijack your email to block Facebook's security communications. Always check your email's 'Blocked Senders & Domains' for hidden blocks.

Recognize and Respond to a Facebook Hack

Early detection is crucial. Unusual profile changes, unexpected friend requests, or unrecognized posts and messages are clear indicators. Immediate, unexplained password reset emails or login alerts from new places are urgent red flags.

A Systematic Approach to Facebook Account Recovery

• Identify and Verify: Visit facebook.com/login/identify. Input linked email or phone number. If these don't work, use your name or profile URL.
• Change Email: If your email or phone is inaccessible, request an email change and provide necessary verification, potentially including a photo ID.
• Alternative Recovery: Visit facebook.com/hacked to secure your account without the original email or phone.
• Help Centre: If other methods fail, the Facebook Help Centre's 'Accessing and Downloading' section may offer solutions.

Post-Recovery: Secure Your Facebook Profile

After reclaiming your account:

• Update Passwords: Implement new, strong passwords across all accounts.
• Enable 2FA: Use Two-Factor Authentication for added security.
• Monitor Finances: Set alerts for credit file activity to detect unauthorized transactions.
• Report and Inform: Contact cybersecurity agencies and update your contacts about the breach.
