What is the first thing you should change if you are hacked?

Hello everyone,
I want to take a moment to inform you that my Facebook account was recently hacked. If any of you have received strange messages or posts from me, please disregard them. I’ve regained control of my account and have taken all the necessary steps to secure it 1-866-825-2907. I’m sharing this post to let you know what happened and how I was able to recover my account. Hopefully, this can help anyone who might face a similar situation in the future.

What Happened?
A few days ago, I realized I couldn’t log into my Facebook account. When I attempted to log in, it showed that my password had been changed 1-866-825-2907, and my email address and phone number were updated without my permission. It became clear that my account had been hacked.

How I Recovered My Account
Here’s how I managed to regain access to my account:

1.      Password Reset:
I immediately went to the Facebook login page and clicked on the “Forgotten Password” link. I entered my email address (or phone number) linked to my account 1-866-825-2907. Facebook sent me a password reset link to my email (or a code to my phone), which allowed me to change my password and regain access.

2.      No Access to Email or Phone?
In my case, I realized that the hacker had also changed my contact information, so I couldn’t use the usual recovery methods 1-866-825-2907. Facebook offers a solution for this—by clicking on the “No longer have access to these?” option. I provided a new email address and received a verification code, which allowed me to reset my password.

3.      Reviewing Account Activity:
Once I regained access, I immediately checked the Security and Login section of Facebook to review all the devices that were logged into my account 1-866-825-2907. I logged out of any unfamiliar devices to ensure the hacker couldn’t access my account again.

4.      Changing Password and Enabling Two-Factor Authentication:
After resetting my password, I created a new, stronger password that’s harder to guess. Additionally, I enabled Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for extra security. With 2FA, I now receive a code on my phone each time I log in, making it much harder for someone to access my account without my permission.

Stay Safe Online!
If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, don’t panic! Follow the recovery steps provided by Facebook. It’s also a good idea to review your privacy settings regularly and keep your contact information updated. If you receive any suspicious messages from my account or anyone else’s, be cautious and report it immediately.

Thank you for your support, and stay safe online, everyone!
