Drop an e-mail to the support of FB, moderator will ask you to show the government id proof, if found correct according to the FB rules they will give you the access of the a/c.

I don't believe in Facebook account hacks because they are all false. Facebook servers are very strong, it's almost impossible to hack. There are many factors cause you to unable to login, some of them are lost password, wrong password, account locked due to too many wrong attempts, etc.
I suggest you to use the Facebook's forgot password feature to recover your account than creating a new one.

G!

It's very easy how to claimed it back. If the accounts is phone verified you can simply access back the account to you. Just log in the account using a mobile log in through m.facebook.com you can enter the mobile number as a username for that and hit forgot password. Facebook will send a new confirmation msg thru sms and permits you to change your password to access it back.

Is there a way you can submit proof or ID to Facebook to regain access? Did you set up your trusted contacts on Facebook. Such as three friends who could be texted a code to give to you so you could prove your identity. Please email Facebook and explain the situation and try to provide all the proof you can that you are the original account owner, including any passwords or previous email addresses (or even content of private messages you remember) that would prove you have a right to be on that account or that it was hacked. If you can provide your IP to them, then they can compare it to the IP that was previously used and is now being used by the hacker.

Facebook notified me some years back that there was a login on my Facebook account from Texas, a place that I have never visited. I do not know how this would be possible. I do not know how anyone could have gotten my password or user account info. Since then, I do not use that Facebook account and have started a new one and so far had no problems. I have it set so that whenever I login or anyone tries to login, they will send me a notification. This is especially true if the login attempt fails.

Nothing is ever impossible to hack. Secure bank sites get hacked on a regular basis. A couple of my friends on Facebook had no choice BUT to create new accounts because of hackers. Emails get hacked, Twitter accounts get hacked. MANY sites get hacked. Nothing is EVER impossible, as it happens everyday.

I had received an email notification basically saying "Sorry you were having trouble accessing your Facebook account. If you need to change your password, you can do so by clicking the link below." Keep in mind that I didn't login to that account for probably a month or more.

Needless to say, I did, in fact change my password and I haven't had any problems since.

In one situation, my computer was stolen from storage and someone used it to login to my Gmail (likely by mistake) and then Google sent me a message saying there was a suspicious login to my account. That moment, my heart dropped to the bottom of my chest. I have never been so panicked. So many things we do online, including banking and our work income relies on our online accounts staying secure. I still don't know what all accounts they accessed that day before I got the passwords changed. That was some years back.

It's very scary, I couldn't imagine having gone through that. I had watched a documentary lately, about how it's possible to have the technology to "Pick" someones pocket without even stealing their purse or wallet.... I wish I could remember the name of the documentary, but it was an eye opener.

How this technology would work, would be like a scanner, per say. You know how you have the option to have credit and debit cards pay by "Tap'? This piece of equipment can read your cards just by tapping the outside of your purse or wallet. They did a simulation test run on this, and believe it ot not... this is possible.

I personally do not believe in having any kind of "Tap" on any of my cards. I'm not about to make the thieves job easier. If a person is that lazy or is in need of that much of convenience (no offense), then I really think people should be re-thinking their strategies. Convenience also falls under making it easier for the criminals. Now mind you I'm not paranoid or anything like that; I'm just realistic. The technology in homes is unbelievably remarkable, however it's scary as hell... It opens up every hacker's world by the millions. Baby monitors on webcams... Think about it people... There has been reported AND interviewed cases where the baby monitors were HACKED and the hacker watched the baby for HOURS.

For me? No thank you. As awesome as what technology is... I will stay away from most. I have a laptop and a samsung android. That's all I need, thank you! lololol There's my other rant for the day...lol [quote]In one situation, my computer was stolen from storage and someone used it to login to my Gmail (likely by mistake) and then Google sent me a message saying there was a suspicious login to my account.

Really you cannot be too careful as there are thieves and opportunists online (just as in real life), trying to scam or defraud and anyone who thinks it can't happen to them is just setting themselves up. It's ok to be wary about what could happen and to guard against potential danger online in much the same way as you would lock your windows and doors or arm your alarm system, against in real life robbers who could break into your home.

And having online mixed with the technology in the home amplifies things even more, because it's not just your neighbours, or your town/city your have to worry about; it's the rest of the world you're inviting into your home to do whatever they want and to watch whatever ever they want, depending on the type of technology you have in your home, and where it's placed.

I shiver just thinking about it.

One thing that bothers me is how easily cyber criminals can get into the home computer to spy on people, such as via downloaded software that piggy backs a keylogger software. Keyloggers can turn your webcam on to watch what you are doing in the room or go through personal files on the computer or delete system files. The problem is you won't know this person was ever on your computer, maybe for years unless a scan picks it up. For this reason, I never download anything unless it's official updates from a site such as Adobe or Microsoft and I scan my computer a couple times a week.

Perhaps you are over-thinking because Facebook may not be accurate or your IP address changes. There are many factors that cause your IP to change, some are: change by ISP provider (in every interval), used a web proxy, proxy, VPN or other Wi-Fi networks.
Once almost all sites say I logged in from New Zealand while I'm in Asia, after checking then realised by IP was changed by my ISP Provider. Now it changed back to my country.

Indeed almost all Internet electronic devices are hackable, but not all are easy to hack. Facebook has thousands of servers, that makes it almost impossible to hack. Same goes for Google. There are many DDoS attempts against Facebook and Google daily, once there is a group of Anonymous hacker claimed to hack Facebook and all credentials will be published publicly after the next day, at the end that doesn't happen and they disappeared like Ninja. For Google, I believe there are no downtimes caused by hacks.

That was someone trying to login to your account with many attempts to guess your password but failed.

It's easy to gain access to Facebook accounts simply through phishing emails, as that's how its most often done now with large, popular websites. The user thinks they have an official email telling them to login to their account through the email link, and they end up giving their login info to strangers.

Most people should know better than to click links in emails, but if it looks official it can trick a lot of people.

Oh yes, that's also possible. However, if that happens, you can't blame Facebook for getting your account hacked, it's your negligence.

No one said it was Facebook's fault, but just that it does happen ;)

It was a worrisome situation but has not happened since then. Hopefully, it was a one time event.
