My facebook account has been hacked
My Facebook has been hacked
It was Saturday, May 11, 2020. I downloaded the Windows 10 installer. After downloading, when I click the file to extract, all my files on my laptop were corrupted in just a few minutes. Luckily I have already backed up my file on my external hard drive. Only the current file was corrupted.
So in the afternoon, I formatted my laptop and I think it's back to normal. While browsing on the internet I am so happy while installing important applications on my laptop.
When I check my Facebook on my cellphone, I can't access it anymore, the password was incorrect. I feel so suspicious now that somebody change my password. When I open my Gmail account which was connected to my FB anymore. I received an email that my FB password has been reset and removed from my Gmail's connectivity to the FB account.
As you can see that the hacker address is in the picture
I try to secure my account by clicking that I am not the one who reset the password. I message my co-worker that my FB has been hacked and don't reply if somebody uses my account.
My wife also posted to her FB that my account has been hacked.
When I click forget the password to send code, the prompt mail is not my mail anymore I've tried to recover it by uploading my ID on Facebook.
But still the process says and always repeated and I can't recover my account. Facebook email me again and locked my account due to suspicious activity. It will be unlocked until I can verify my account. Until now sadly, I can't recover my account.
Points to Remember
1. Don't visit suspicious sites for downloading applications
2. Always back up your files
3. Turn on 2 factor verification on your FB using your Gmail and cellphone number
Once they tried to hack my Facebook because I got a message from Gmail that I was trying to reset my password but I automatically deleted that request and as I could I changed my password with another link and the hacker went somewhere else to bother me.
