How to Recover a Hacked Facebook Account
Confirming Your Account Has Been Hacked
Identifying Signs of a Full Account Compromise Recognise the common indicators that your account has been fully compromised:
- You can no longer log in with your previously valid credentials. Friends might report receiving unusual messages or requests from your account, which you did not send.
- Your account details, such as the associated email address, password, or phone number, have been changed without your consent.
- You notice posts, likes, comments, or friend requests that were not made by you.
Immediate Non-Login Actions to Take
- Attempt to use Facebook’s 'Find Your Account' tool from a different device or network to search for your profile with your name or email address. This can help confirm whether your account details have been altered.
- Use a friend’s account to report your compromised account directly to Facebook, which can be done through the 'Report a Profile' feature.
- Visit Facebook's Help Centre from another account or device to access specific guidance for compromised accounts and begin the recovery process.

Utilising ID Upload and Verification Features
One effective method to regain access, especially when you are locked out and recovery options are non-responsive, is to prepare for when Facebook allows the upload of identification documents. Regular attempts to access the ID upload feature may eventually be met with success, especially during off-peak hours or updates to Facebook’s support system. Once the option becomes available, promptly upload a clear and valid government-issued ID to verify your identity and expedite the recovery process.

Best Practises for Maintaining Your Facebook Account Security
Regularly Update Security Settings: Continuously monitor and update your security settings. This includes regularly changing your password and reviewing access points and linked applications.
Utilise Advanced Security Features: Make full use of Facebook’s security features like two-factor authentication, alerts for unrecognised logins, and setting up trusted contacts. Prioritise using authenticator apps over SMS for two-factor authentication to enhance security.
Stay Informed: Keep yourself updated on the latest security threats and Facebook’s new security features. Participating in community forums and following tech news can provide valuable insights and early warnings about new hacking methods or privacy concerns.
Be Cautious and Critical: Always be sceptical of unusual messages, friend requests, and links, even if they appear to come from known contacts. Phishing attempts can be sophisticated and are the most common way hackers gain access to accounts.
Backup Important Data: Regularly backup important data shared on Facebook, such as photos or significant conversations, to another secure location. This can prevent loss in case of account compromises or technical issues with Facebook.
Document and Report Issues: Keep a record of any security issues you encounter and report them to Facebook. This not only helps in resolving your issue but may also assist others experiencing similar problems.
