You can agree with me that there is a percentage increase in the number of hackers today. What these hackers does, most especially to the facebook users is that, they try to access one's facebook account in order to gain selfish benefits like important credentials concerning your personal affairs, or to carry out dubious activities and now, the rate at which people’s Facebook accounts are being hacked is on the rise and they are at fault in many cases.

You may be wondering how your Facebook account got hacked?

The most possible way your account can get hacked is phishing. Phishing is when you receive an SMS or email from a unknown or untrusted source (claiming to be Facebook partners), they provide a URL which when logged on, prompts you to supply your Facebook credentials. And also, using the same password for multiple online accounts could be another cause.

How do i detect that my Facebook account has been hacked?

You will be restricted from logging in to your account using your previous credentials or when logged in, you'll begin to see strange messages / posts by your account that wasn't published by you.
Now if you've noticed your account has been hacked, how do you regain access to your Facebook account?
The first action you should take is changing the password used in accessing your email account.
But if you observe strange wall posts by your account, its probably it's some app you granted access to your Facebook account.
To decline this unknown intrudes, naviigate to Settings > Apps and delete any strange App, Website or Plugin on the list.
If you were locked out of your account, try using the Forgot password link present on the login page to regain access.
If the password reset code feature gets temporarily disabled because you and the hacker have been at a tug of war then you should see a link telling you to temporarily lock your account if you think it really has been hacked. However, you will be prompt to answer your security question correctly to proceed with account recover.

Haven regained access to my Facebook account, shortly after it got hacked. How did this happen?
One technique a hacker could use to re-hijack your Facebook account is to have added his / her email address under General Account Settings > Account after the first hack. This way, the hacker can initiate a valid password reset using his / her email address already added to your account recovery options. Once you regain access, you should lookout for any strange email address or phone number in your account recovery setting and delete. Also ensure you change your email account’s password.
