Facebook users can sometimes fall victim to account hacking or unauthorized access. If you've experienced this, Facebook provides a straightforward recovery process to regain control of your account and enhance its security.
To start, visit the Facebook security page (https://www.facebook.com/hacked) and follow the prompts. If your account is compromised and you've had your password changed by the hacker, use the "Forgot Password?" feature to reset it.
Once you've regained access, Facebook will guide you through several steps to secure your account. This includes setting a new, strong password, reviewing recent activity for any suspicious actions, and possibly updating your account information.
Facebook also recommends enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) for an extra layer of security. This means that even if someone gets your password, they won't be able to access your account without a second form of verification, which you'll receive on your phone or via an authenticator app.
If your account has been used to make unauthorized purchases or transactions, review your payment history and report any suspicious activity to Facebook.
To keep your account secure in the future, avoid using public computers to log in, be cautious with links and downloads, and keep your login credentials confidential. Regularly reviewing your account's security settings and being aware of phishing attempts can also help protect your account.
