How to identify if your Facebook account is hacked?

 

  • The devices or the locations, from which the account has been logged, are not recognizable (if it is not you). To verify it,

 

  1. Click  at the top right of your Facebook account.
  2. Select ‘Settings’.
  3. Click ‘Security and login’ in the left column.
  4. Then check devices and locations from ‘Where you’re logged in’ as shown below.

 

  • Your phone number / email / password has changed
  • Your name / birthday / other personal information has changed
  • Friend requests have been sent to people you don’t know
  • Messages have been sent that you didn’t write
  • Posts have been made that you didn’t create

Note: If the email associated with your Facebook account has changed, you can reverse this. When an email is changed, Facebook sends a message to the previous email account with a special link. You can click this link to reverse the email change and secure your account.
