Hacked Facebook account

**Captain Backdoor** · 10-21-2011, 08:20 AM

My Facebook account has been hacked and the hacker has changed the primary email address and I cant change the password, Do any of you computer guru's have any ideas as to how to re-gain control of it?

Have you googled options. There are ton's of topics about this. Not sure there is an easy answer, but you might find something useful

New meaning to the term identity theft.

At this point the best thing to do is report yourself as spam and shut it down

Sucks for you bro. One of my ex's hacked my account, my Gmail, and tried to hack my hotmail account back in the Summer, took me two damn days to get it back.

If I could remember how I got it back, I'd tell ya, but I was so mad for about 3 straight weeks...I can hardly remember anything that went on, lol.

Good luck man.

This is probably worse than identity theft honestly.

You could really ruin someones life by doing this.
This is the sole reason i dont have a facebook and never will have one.

I thought you shot the b^*$ and got it back. ( :biggrin: j/k

Just get a new one and tell Facebook officials they will delete the old one

Oh believe you me, I wouldn't have minded that..I mean really, who does that shit? Lessons learned though...

Capitan Buttsecks, just go through Facebook's recovery options...one of them will get your account back.

**LWC** · 10-21-2011, 10:55 AM

I agree with EKU, report it as spam, message the Facebook recovery people and get it shut down. My gmail account had that happen. I just emailed everyone and told them that I no longer had that account.

**vundy33** · 10-21-2011, 11:04 AM

A new Facebook is alot of work dudes, lol. Plus, when mine was hacked, I had a crapload of messages that I didn't want to lose. He'll be able to get it back, without shutting it down.

bigben · 10-21-2011, 12:01 PM

When mine was hacked all I had to do was change my password, but it looks like this guy is in big trouble

Have you been able to get any FB support at all? Have you tried emailing them directly?

**Captain Backdoor** · 10-28-2011, 12:48 PM

I haven't been able to find an email address for them...all the email links lead you back to the same page. So to answer your question no, I have not had any support from them at all.

Dude....This is the page that every link on the help center brings you back to.....So apparently its real hard.

**vundy33** · 10-29-2011, 06:44 PM

lol what? You can fix anything with those help pages...I had my FB hacked, my primary email address hacked, and my secondary email attempted to be hacked. I just followed the directions in the Help Center and finally got it back after I got my email back.

That's the thing....I've exhausted EVERY avenue and still have yet to get an email or response from Facebook.

**Strikeout King** · 10-30-2011, 02:26 PM

I was wondering what was up with your account tagging a lot of people in shoe pictures.

You can't contact facebook and talk to them about it?

**Aslan** · 10-30-2011, 04:02 PM

Hate that for ya.

I didn't mean an email from Facebook..I meant my email account. I never had to contact FB.
