Recover Hacked Facebook Account

Once your Facebook account is hacked, all I can say is don't panic, because it won't solve the problem. So take a deep breath, accept that your account has been hacked and now all you can do is work to get back the hacked Facebook page and profile.

Use the Trusted Contacts feature to get back the hacked Facebook account:

A few months ago, Facebook added the trusted friends feature, which is one of the easiest ways to get back your hacked Facebook account.

However, it has its own flaws, as the hacker will usually delete all trusted contacts and you won't be able to use it.

But, it is always a good idea to use this feature when you are in trouble, and this How to geek guide will teach you about Facebook account recovery using the trusted contacts feature.

Use the hacked Facebook account page to gain access:

You should try to get your account back using the hacked Facebook link here, and in case the hacker has updated your email, phone number, and other profile details, you should use extended recovery to get account access.

This process can take some time, and there are not many steps left to recover your account.

It was a bit sad to see that there is no contact number or support number where any user can contact the Facebook representative and report the issue.

But you can always send an email to privacy@facebook.com and let them know about the problem. Due to the high volume of such cases, it can take hours or days to get a response from the Facebook team.

If your concern is that someone is misusing your Facebook profile and all the above methods are not working for you, ask your friends to report your profile to Facebook so they can disable it.
