What if someone hacked my Facebook and changed my email and password and phone number?
Getting your Facebook account hacked can be stressful, especially if the hacker has changed your login credentials. If you’ve lost access to your email, password, and phone number, don’t panic—there are still ways to recover your account. Follow these steps to regain control and secure your Facebook account.
1. Try Facebook’s Account Recovery Page
If someone hacked your Facebook and changed your email, password, and phone number, go to facebook.com/hacked and follow the recovery steps 1-877-646-4023. If you can’t access your account, click “No longer have access to these?” and submit an appeal with your ID. Check your email for security alerts from Facebook. Once recovered, update your security settings 1-877-646-4023, enable two-factor authentication (2FA), and review active sessions to prevent future hacks. Act quickly to secure your account.
- Go to the Facebook Account Recovery page: facebook.com/hacked.
- Click “My Account Is Compromised” and follow the on-screen instructions.
- Enter your old email, phone number, or username to locate your account.
- If Facebook recognizes your account, follow the verification steps.
If your email, phone number, and password have been changed, click "No longer have access to these?" and proceed with additional recovery options.
2. Use an Old Device or Location
If possible, try logging in from:
✅ A device you previously used to access Facebook.
✅ A Wi-Fi network or location where you’ve logged in before.
Facebook may recognize familiar login details and allow you to reset your account more easily.
3. Report Your Account as Hacked
If the recovery steps don’t work, you can report your account as hacked:
- Visit the hacked account report page: facebook.com/help/hacked.
- Select “Someone else got into my account” and follow the instructions.
- Facebook will ask security questions or request identification to verify ownership.
4. Try Using a Trusted Contact (If Set Up)
If you previously set up Trusted Contacts, you can use them to recover your account:
- Go to the Facebook login page and click “Forgot Password?”
- Click “No longer have access to these?”
- Select “Reveal My Trusted Contacts” and follow the steps.
- Ask your trusted contacts for the security codes and use them to recover your account.
5. Check Your Email for Security Alerts
Even if the hacker changed your email, Facebook may have sent a security alert to your original email:
- Look for an email from Facebook Security about recent changes.
- If you see a “Secure Your Account” link, click it immediately.
- Follow the instructions to recover your account and remove the hacker.
6. Submit an Appeal to Facebook Support
If all else fails, submit an appeal to Facebook to verify your identity:
- Visit the account appeal page: facebook.com/help/contact/260749603972907.
- Enter your full name, email, and a description of the issue.
- Upload a photo of your government-issued ID (passport, driver’s license, etc.).
- Submit the request and wait for a response from Facebook.
This process can take a few days to a week, so be patient.
7. Secure Your Account After Recovery
Once you regain access, immediately secure your Facebook account:
✅ Change your password – Use a strong, unique password.
✅ Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) – Add an extra layer of security.
✅ Update your email and phone number – Ensure only you can access them.
✅ Review Active Sessions – Log out of unrecognized devices via Settings > Security & Login.
8. Report the Hacker and Scams
If the hacker used your account for scams, report it to:
- Facebook Help Center: facebook.com/help.
- Local authorities if personal data was stolen.
Final Thoughts
If your Facebook was hacked and login details were changed, act quickly. Use Facebook’s recovery tools, report the hack, and secure your account to prevent future attacks. If you’re locked out completely, submitting an appeal with ID verification is your best option. Always enable two-factor authentication to protect your account from hackers.
