Hacked Facebook account

Attackers use compromised profiles to solicit money from contacts, so recovery and warning others are both important.

Pause before acting. Do not use links, phone numbers, or apps provided by a suspicious sender.

What to check first

Use the points below as a decision checklist, not as a guarantee. Criminal campaigns change quickly and may use correct names, logos, and details taken from earlier breaches.

  • navigate manually to the help center
  • secure the linked email
  • review active sessions
  • warn contacts through another channel

A safer sequence of actions

  1. Stop the current interaction. Do not click again, reply, pay, or install software.
  2. Open the official service independently by typing a known address or using an installed app.
  3. If credentials, payment data, or device access were exposed, start the incident plan immediately.
  4. Preserve evidence and use the official reporting channel in your country.

What this guide cannot determine

No checklist can prove that a message, website, caller, or device is safe. When money, identity, or account access is at risk, verify through an independent official channel and seek qualified help when needed.
