How to Report a Hacked Facebook Account?

Discovering that your Facebook account has been hacked can trigger immediate panic and concern. A compromised account means unauthorized access, potentially leading to misused personal information, spamming your friends, or even identity theft. Acting swiftly and methodically is paramount to minimizing damage and reclaiming your digital space. This guide outlines the essential steps to report a hacked Facebook account and bolster its security.

The first crucial step is to confirm the compromise. You might notice unusual activity like posts you didn't create, messages sent from your account, new friend requests, or unfamiliar logins in your activity log. Perhaps the most alarming sign is being completely locked out because your password, email, or phone number has been changed. If you can still log in, immediately go to Settings & Privacy > Settings > Password and security > Where you're logged in. Review all active sessions and Log Out of All Sessions that you don't recognize. This will immediately kick out the hacker from any active sessions they might have.
