The most effective ways to get better
There are two main ways to get your data back, and they should work in most situations.
We’ll give an overview below, with links to more in-depth explanations:
Use the Facebook app to send in a picture of your ID.
This is the best way to prove who you are and get back into your account.
The process is easy, as long as you can find your account. Facebook usually reviews these within 1-2 business days.
Once you’ve been approved, they give you a Login Link to reset your password. Once you’ve done that, you can change a lot of your account’s contact information and security settings back to how they were before the hack.
Report that your account was hacked.
This process always starts on the web, no matter what gadget you use.
It’s another flow that lets you prove you’re who you say you are by entering a password from a PREVIOUS account, which a hacker shouldn’t know.
Once your old password has been verified, they will walk you through a few steps to change your password and regain control of your account.
This method may also require you to show a photo ID, which is always a good idea, or prove specific account activity, your date of birth, and other information that only you would know.
Why social accounts are getting broken into
Hackers don’t just go after the accounts of famous people anymore; they also go after people like you. So, what are these hackers trying to do with the account? What are they doing with them, and why is it so hard to get in touch with Facebook about this?
To make a long story short, some hackers use Facebook accounts to spread trash or propaganda, but most use them to make as much money as possible. Since your name is on the account, more people, especially your followers, are likely to accept what they post, comment on, or send to you directly. Also, hackers like to take advantage of people’s fear and desperation after being locked out of their accounts to get them to send hundreds or even thousands of dollars with the promise that the account will be returned. Warning: They don’t give it back! So how can we keep ourselves safe?

Job scams. Con artists try to gain your home address, driver’s license number, banking information, etc. during the “interview” or “hiring” process.
Found passwords. Public passwords are another major factor. The Dark Web sells or gives away millions of stolen credentials daily. Because to a random data breach, your account is at danger. The Cyrus app lets you rapidly check what personal data is out there.

How to prevent Facebook hacking

Password and Security > Two-Factor Authentication
Create a backup key or code. These can only be copied or written down, so hackers shouldn’t acquire them. 2FA generates backup codes instantaneously. Secure them.
Change it to something bold. Your dark web passwords were not posted by Facebook. Instead of tossing the dice, use a unique password for each account. Learn about password protection here.
