Has your Facebook account been hacked?

by Contributing Author: Christine Buffaloe, Social Media Expert

Facebook Hacked?

facebook hacked

Beware – It Can Happen Anytime!

This is a serious problem and there are ways to avoid this, but, we are never safe from “cyber criminals.”

The “cyber criminals” can infiltrate your Facebook profile, and then change the email address on the account and the password. Once they have access to the account, they can then send out emails to everyone asking for money or whatever it is they are looking for. This is known as phishing and Facebook has named it the “419scam”. First they hack your account and then they disguise themselves as you and chat with your friends and send out the emails. Western Union has a whole list of consumer protection for fraud.

Once you realized what has happened, it’s already too late. You can send an email to Facebook via there Help function, but, you have to be able to get into your account to do so. You can ask a friend or colleague to contact them on your behalf and Facebook will then lock the account. For more information, go to Facebook Help. There are steps that Facebook will send you to follow, but once your account has been compromised you will not be able to access the account to make the changes. It is frustrating, to say the least.

What you can do to protect yourself:

  • Change your password on a regular basis
  • Do not share your information with just “anyone”
  • Check your privacy settings
  • Never post anything that is too personal
  • and…..never post that you are out of town!

If you think your account or a friend’s account had been hacked, go immediately to Facebook’s Help Center.

Has this ever happened to you? How did you handle it?

"With Janet Hall as my coach and mentor my skills and my confidence to handle computer and internet related projects have been boosted and solidified. Her patience, knowledge and training skills are extraordinary.” – Dr. Gabriele Van Zon, FSIA, FSII of Feng Shui Universal
“Janet has provided excellent training! A great person to teach and follow up with providing help when it is needed. We highly recommend Janet to anyone of you who are thinking of creating your own site. THANK YOU For All Your Help with our Web Sites Janet.” – John & Jo Lightning Videos & Tours on Video
"When I started working with Janet, my ultimate goal for working with a coach was “getting there faster.” I had a ton of ideas and was very excited about starting my own business. By working with a coach, I hoped to find the straightest path to success, especially in areas that were newest to me … marketing products, writing articles, books, writing web content, etc. Janet helped me on all of these fronts. In six months time, with Janet’s coaching and guidance, I had my web site up and running, a contract developed for services, I was writing and distributing an email newsletter each month, I had developed my own organizing process to use with clients, I developed a 30 second intro to use in networking meetings, and the list goes on. When I started out, I knew I wanted to market and sell products on my web site. Janet opened my eyes to the possibility of developing my own informational products, and I’m happy to say, with Janet’s guidance, I will have my first one completed very soon! Most importantly, it was wonderful to know that Janet was always an email away.” – Aby Garvey, Organizing Consultant of simplify 101, inc. www.simplify101.com
