1 edit | Facebook hacked/email changed Last night my Facebook account was hacked and the email address and password was changed. FB keeps posting the incorrect email address when I tried changing passwords and locking the account. I can't find any way to contact them and every attempt to use their methods takes me back to the wrong email (which I can't access since it's phony).
Any links or ideas? I know I wasn't on the site at 8:37 PM last night!

| Thank you, dandelion. I am in contact with Facebook, but they gave me a similar link. All it did was give me an endlessly repeating "answer the security question, choose a new password, answer the security question, choose a new password" webpage. I wrote them back but no new answer as of yet.
In the meantime my Hotmail account was hacked today too!! I have been able to change my password on that at least.
Sheesh!

I am at a quandry and am just hoping someone else comes along with more ideas. As I said in the IM.. my daughter's account was hacked but all of us contacted FB along with her. She didn't have the account for about a week.. but they straightened it out and got it back for her. Again I wish you luck and would suggest finding out also where this is coming from by running malwarebytes on your computer then changing passwords of other sites.

I would suggest you look inward before you do anything else. it sounds like your computer is infected with a trojan or malware of some kind that is giving these people all your passwords. start clean(meaning, start with a known clean computer), and then change everything. Good luck with the FB thing tho, they can be douches about hacked accounts. |

| Case 'closed' I ran full antivirus scans to desktop & laptop and they were clean.
After many tries using the link supplied by FB with the endless loop I mentioned above I had them lock that account (it's gone now) and signed up a new account. I did use a very complex password different than any other, which FB suggested.
Thank you for your replies folks!
