A few days ago, some of my friends on Facebook asked me: How to get your Facebook account back after being hacked? Sites like Facebook meet daily percussion with Hackers and you may have noticed such an attack in December 2011, when users got their accounts infected by clicking some spam links – since then a chine of auto-posting of inappropriate links started on their walls, but that was fixed in a few days by Facebook.

It feels really bad when someone hacks into your account and you’ve no control over his actions there. It is a fact that many people on Facebook get their accounts hacked daily by such attacks. If you are one of those, here ishow to recover your hacked Facebook account.

• Go to Report compromised Facebook account and click “My account is compromised“.

A form will be opened asking for your email or phone number you registered you Facebook account with, your Facebook username, your Name and a friends name.

Fill in the required information correctly and click “Search“. You’ll see a page like below screenshot: 

If you’re able to see your account login (just like above screenshot), then proceed to the below steps:

- Login with your password. A message will come up saying “Thanks for reporting this problem…“, click “Continue“. You’ll be asked to input a new password, enter and confirm you new password and click “Submit“.
