How to tell if your Facebook has been hacked

There are several different ways
hackers use a breached
Facebook account. Automatic
logins through Facebook allow
hackers access to many different
site accounts once they've taken
over your Facebook account.
Spammers hack Facebook
accounts to gain access to your
following. Your account also
gives a hacker a lot of personal
information about you that can
be used to steal your identity.
If you worry that your account
has been hacked, there is a
simple way to check. Go to the
arrow in the upper left-hand
corner of your Facebook page
and click on it. In the menu,
select Settings. A new menu will
pop up. Choose Security and
then Where You're Logged In.
A list of all of the devices that
you've logged into and their
locations. If there is a login you
don't recognize, chances are you
may have been hacked. If you see
anything that isn't you, click End
Activity on the right side of the
log to end the session. The
hacker will be logged out
temporarily.

What to do if your Facebook has
been hacked
Once you click on End Activity,
change your password right
away. Next, get Facebook's help.
Facebook has a system to help
you if you've been hacked.
Go to the Facebook help page,
click on I think my account was
hacked or someone is using it
without my permission , and
then click on secure it. Facebook
will take you to a page where
you log in and then go about the
steps to securing your account.
