How do I recover my hacked Facebook account? (reader mail)

MissPhedora writes: Someone has gotten into my Facebook and deleted or changed my information (not good) and changed my password. I can not access it and it does not sent me a code (obviously they also changed my alternative email address). I want to lock my Facebook down or close it. How do I do that?

Hi MissPhedora—and sorry to hear about your Facebook troubles. The good news is that there is a way to get your stolen Facebook account back, even if the crooks have changed your password and the email addresses associated with your account.

The first step is to prove to Facebook that you are, in fact, you. Visit this page, where you’ll get three options: submitting a phone number or email address that is (or once was) associated with your Facebook account; entering your Facebook username; or entering your name and the name of one of your Facebook friends.

Once you’ve identified your compromised account, you’ll arrive at a page with a series of contact numbers and email addresses. If you still have control of any of the email address or phone numbers that are listed, check the appropriate box and click the “Reset Password” button.

If that doesn’t work, click the “No longer have access to these?” link, and Facebook will step you through the (often lengthy) process of confirming your identity.

In addition to answering standard security questions (“What was the name of a childhood pet?” and the like), you may also get the option of choosing three to five “trusted friends” who will receive special codes for reclaiming your account. To get the codes, you’ll have to call your pals on the phone—an added level of security to thwart hackers trying to worm their way into your account.

Some lucky Facebook users can even designate their “trusted friends” in advance by clicking the little arrow in the top-right corner of the page, selecting “Account Settings,” and clicking the “Edit” link in the “Trusted Friends” section.

Not all Facebook accounts have this feature enabled, though; mine doesn’t, for example. (Don’t ask me why.) That said, you can always add additional contact emails and phone numbers, or establish a security question; just click here to get started.

Hope this helps, MissPhedora, and best of luck getting your account back.

5 ways to protect your Facebook account from hackers

1. Create a secure password

The first step in keeping your Facebook account safe and secure is one that also applies to any of your personal online accounts: creating a password that’s a little tougher to crack than “password.”

The tech gurus as Microsoft recommend creating a password that’s no less than eight characters, complete with letters, numbers, symbols and punctuation. You should also avoid using easy-to-guess words—like, say, your daughter’s first name, or the name of your beloved Labrador.

And not only should you use a unique passwords for all your online accounts, including Facebook, you should also change your passwords as often as you can stand.

And not only should you use a unique passwords for all your online accounts, including Facebook, you should also change your passwords as often as you can stand.

Not the easiest advice to follow, I know; indeed, I’d be lying if I told you I change my Facebook password once a week. But going with a password more complex than “myname99″ is, at the very least, a good start.

2. Turn on secure browsing

Ever log on to Facebook with your laptop over a public Wi-Fi hotspot? If so, consider this: hackers can easily “sniff” the wireless data that’s flowing through unprotected hotspots in cafés, parks and other public spaces, meaning they can essentially see almost everything you’re doing online, including on Facebook.

The good news is that you can browse Facebook over a “secure” web connection that’s far tougher (though not impossible) for hackers to crack. Here’s how to do it:

• Click the downward arrow in the top-right corner of any Facebook page, then select Account Settings.
• In the left column of the next page, click Secutiry, then click the “edit” link next to Secure Browsing.
• Click the “Browse Facebook on a secure connection (https) when possible)” checkbox.

Now, when you check your Facebook account, you’ll see “https://” (rather than plain-old “http://”) at the beginning of your web browser’s address bar, which means you’re browsing the web over a (mostly) secure connection.

3. Turn on login notifications

Even the strongest of strong passwords and “secure browsing” won’t stop a determined hacker from sneaking into your Facebook account, and that’s where this next security precaution comes in handy.

You can set Facebook to warn you whenever someone logs into your account from an “unrecognized” device—that is, something other than the laptop, phone, or desktop PC that you use for Facebook each day.

You can set Facebook to warn you whenever someone logs into your account from an “unrecognized” device—that is, something other than the laptop, phone, or desktop PC that you use for Facebook each day.

Here’s how:

• Click the downward arrow in the top-right corner of any Facebook page, click Account Settings, then click Security in the left column.
• Next, click the Edit link next to Login Notifications. Once you enable this setting, you’ll get a warning if someone tries to log into your Facebook account over a new device. All you have to do is choose how you’d like to be notified: via email or text message (provided you’veregistered your cell phone number with Facebook).
• Finally, click the Save Changes button. You’re done.

From now on, you’ll be prompted to name any device you use to log into Facebook, and you’ll be able to track your “recognized” Facebook devices from the Security Settings page.

4. Turn on login approvals

While login notifications do a great job of warning you if someone’s trying to pry their way into your Facebook account, they won’t actually stop anyone from breaking in if they’ve managed to snag your Facebook password. That’s where login approvals come in.

Here’s how they work: whenever anyone—either you or someone else—tries to log into your Facebook account on an “unrecognized” device, they’ll have to enter a secret, one-use-only code that’s sent via SMS to your cell phone. No code, no entry.

It’s a clever way to keep ne’er-do-wells from trying to pry their way into your Facebook account; then again, it can backfire if you’re trying to log into Facebook from a new PC and you don’t have your cell phone, or if your cellular connection conks out.

Still want to try login approvals? Here’s how:

• Once again, click the downward arrow in the top-right corner of a Facebook page, click Security in the left column, then click the “Edit” link next to Login Approvals.
• Click the “Require me to enter a security code” checkbox, then follow the prompts.
• Part of the setup process involves Facebook sending an initial security code to the cell phone number you’ve registered on your Facebook account (and yes, you’ll be prompted to register a wireless number if you haven’t done so already).

That’s it! Just make sure to keep your phone handy if you’re planning on logging into Facebook from a device you haven’t used before.

Change your mind about login approvals? If so, just go back to the Security Settings page (under Account Settings), click the Edit link next to Login Approvals, clear the checkbox, and click Save Changes.

You can check—and immediately log out of—any remote Facebook sessions that still happen to be open.

5. Sign out of any “remote” Facebook sessions

Ever worry that you signed in to Facebook on a friend’s computer or a PC in a conference room but forgot to sign out? I know the feeling. Luckly, it’s easy to log out of any so-called “remote” Facebook sessions, even when you’re sitting at home in front of your personal desktop.

• Go to the Security Sessions: click the downward arrow in the top-right corner of any Facebook page, click Account Settings, then click Security in the left column.
• Click the Edit link next to Active Sessions, then take a look at the list of your recent “sessions” that Facebook thinks are still active.
• See any you don’t recognize—or, perhaps, one from a public PC that you do recognize? If so, click the “End Activity” link next to the session in immediately log out of it.

6 telltale signs that a friend’s email account’s been hacked

So, one of your closest friends just emailed, warning you that someone’s posting very, very bad things about you online. Whatever you do, though, don’t click that all-too-tempting link in the body of the message.

Why not, you ask? Because your pal probably didn’t send that email.

Chances are that your friend’s email account was hijacked by a hacker who’s now spamming everyone in your friend’s address book, hoping to fool at least some of them—maybe even you—into clicking a link that leads to one of the shadier corners of the web.

How can you tell the fake emails from the real ones? Well, that can be a bit tricky.

How can you tell the fake emails from the real ones? Well, that can be a bit tricky.

An especially enterprising hacker may go to great lengths to impersonate one of your friends or co-workers, all in the hopes that he’ll trick you into giving up a credit card number or a password.

Far more common, though, are the somewhat crude, easy-to-spot messages sent to a wide swath of people, typically with a clumsy (or non-existent) subject line and a single, arcane-looking link.

Let’s tick off six warning signs that the email you just got is from a friend’s hacked email account, starting with:

1. There’s nothing in the message except an odd-looking link

 
It’s mysterious and tempting, no doubt—and it’s also a favorite tactic of hackers trying to fool the most people with the least amount of effort. Do yourself a favor and steer clear.

2. There’s a string of random email addresses in the “To:” field

 
Puzzled that your friend sent a sketchy email message to you and six other people you don’t recognize?

Well, hackers usually divvy up the email addresses in their victims’ address books and send their spam messages to small chunks of them at a time—often in alphabetical order.

3. Your friend is suddenly pitching weight-loss pills or “enhancement” remedies

 
Did your buddy just send an email suggesting you slim down, find an exciting new career, discover the secret of personal enlightenment, or boost the size of your … ah, “organ,” shall we say?

Nope, your friend isn’t trying to drop a hint. Instead, you’re looking at some of the crudest, yet most effective spam pitches of all time. Toss these messages in your “Junk” folder, pronto.

4. Your friend warns that someone’s posting funny—or mean—things about you online

 
“Hello this user is posting very bad things about you,” writes your friend. Or another variant: “Someone just posted a funny picture of you.”

You know you want to click, right? (Full disclosure: I’ve almost fallen victim to this ploy myself.)

Well, don’t—that is, unless you want to end up on a porn site, an online pharmaceutical store, or worse.

5. Your friend needs you to wire money, ASAP

 
Troubling news: a neighborhood friend who’s travelling in Rome (hmm, she went on vacation without telling you?) had her purse—along with her ID, passport, credit cards, and traveler’s checks—stolen, and now she’s frantically emailing you for help. Could you do her a huge favor and wire her some cash?

Well, here’s the scoop: your friend probably isn’t on vacation, nor did anyone boost her purse. That said, someone likely has taken control of her email account in the hopes of tricking you out of a few hundred dollars.

6. A colleague needs your social security number, password, or credit card number

 
Bob from the office just emailed, and he’s got more details on the BlueStar account that you’ve both been slaving over. He also has an odd request: he needs your social security number, your date of birth, and at least one credit card number for a web form. Could you send ‘em right over?

Beware. Even though “Bob” seems to know specifics about the office, it’s possible you’re the target of a so-called “spear-phisher”—a hacker who’s managed to scrounge up some “inside” personal or professional information about you, and who’s using said info to impersonate someone you know.

Spear-phishing is a clever, tough-to-spot tactic that’s netted some high-profile victims, and there’s no sure-fire way to protect yourself.

But if a co-worder suddenly requests a key password or your Visa card number over email, think twice (or better yet, give her a call) before clicking “send.”

Bonus tips

• Getting suspicious email messages from a friend? Make sure to contact him or her immediately and let ‘em know.
• You may see some of these same tactics used on Facebook, Twitter, and other social networking sites, so careful with spammy-looking direct messages and wall posts.
