Hi Benjamin,
First, you’re not alone in 落ちるing 犠牲者 to a Facebook account ハイジャック.?
Facebook is a big 的 for hackers and scammers. Think about this: Facebook has 2.989 billion 月毎の active 使用者s 世界的な.?In other words, about 37.2 パーセント of the 全世界の 全住民 uses Facebook every month.
Your first step: Go to Facebook.com/切り開く/タクシー/不正アクセスd and 警報 Facebook that your account has been 妥協d.?
You’ll need to enter your email 演説(する)/住所 or phone number associated with the account.?
Be sure to give every bit of info they ask for. The point here is to 証明する that you are you, the rightful owner of the account.

Next, 接触する your friends. You’ll have to do this outside of Facebook, of course. Tell them your account was 切り開く/タクシー/不正アクセスd and ask them to do you a 抱擁する 好意.
You want them to also 報告(する)/憶測 to Facebook that your account was 切り開く/タクシー/不正アクセスd.?
They can do this by going to your profile, then select More or three-dot menu and then Find support or 報告(する)/憶測 a profile.?
The whole idea here is the higher the number of 報告(する)/憶測s that Facebook is getting, the better chance you have of getting 支援する in.
You might be tempted by the online 広告s (人命などを)奪う,主張するing that they can get your Facebook account 信任状 支援する - that’s a scam, so don’t 落ちる for it.
Once you’ve 報告(する)/憶測d your Facebook account was 妥協d, it’s a waiting game.?
It could take weeks or months to hear 支援する. In the 合間, open a new Facebook account and lock 負かす/撃墜する all your other social マスコミ accounts. Each one needs its own unique password, and 始める,決める up two-factor authentication anywhere you can.
Hi Kim,
My wife went on a trip to South America. She was standing on the street and pulled out her phone to find directions when a kid on a bike zoomed by and grabbed the phone 権利 out of her 手渡す.
She 叫び声をあげるd (pretty loud!) but 明白に didn't get the phone 支援する.?
I called the service provider 権利 away and they blacklisted the phone.?
They said the phone is inoperative now, but we're seeing strange activity because of all the apps and connected accounts.
What the heck do I do? I want to help her so she can enjoy her trip! I did とじ込み/提出する a police 報告(する)/憶測, by the way.

Dear David,?
You’re a good husband to 令状 to me? and you were smart to call the service provider.?
Unfortunately, there’s lots left to take care of. Just think about it for a second: So much of our 数字表示式の lives are tied up in our phones. They’re 価値(がある) a lot more than the cost of a 交替/補充.
The kicker here, of course, is that your wife’s phone was 打ち明けるd because this jerk grabbed it while in use. That was definitely not an 事故, by the way. More on that below. Travel 保険 might cover the cost of stolen electronics, by the way.
