kingstonkid Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 In the past 3 weeks I have had Facebook mail tell me that my account may have been hacked. Has anyone else run into this? I am not a big user but it is my main method of keeping up with family and friends back in Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomazbodner Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 I closed FB 10+ years ago and receive PINs from FB to reset password. So I guess account is still getting reactivated by these attempts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the PC it might be enough to move the mouse over the sender field. 2) does the mail address you with personal details or is it just a "Dear Facebook user..." type? 3) does the mail contain links and where do they point to?
