If you believe your Facebook account has been hacked, here are some actions you should take:
- Change your password: Go to Facebook’s settings and change your password immediately. Make sure to use a strong and unique password that you haven’t used before.
- Enable two-factor authentication: Enable two-factor authentication to add an extra layer of security to your account.
- Review your account activity: Check your Facebook account’s activity log to see if there have been any unauthorized logins or suspicious activity. Facebook will also notify you of any unusual activity, such as a login from an unfamiliar location.
- Report the hack to Facebook: Go to Facebook’s Help Center and report the hack. Facebook will guide you through the process of recovering your account and securing it.
- Secure your device: Make sure to run a virus scan on your device and update your security software. Also, check for any suspicious software or apps that may have been installed without your knowledge.
- Review your other accounts: If you used the same password for other online accounts, change those passwords as well to prevent the hacker from gaining access to those accounts.
- Be vigilant: Watch out for any suspicious emails or messages that may be attempting to gain access to your account or personal information.
By taking these steps, you can help regain control of your hacked Facebook account and prevent any further damage.
