Signs your page or account was hacked

You were removed as an admin, or your login email or phone number was changed

Posts, stories or messages you didn’t create

Ads you didn’t create in Ads Manager, or unexpected charges

Emails from Meta about login attempts or changes you didn’t make

Followers report scam messages sent from your account

Hacked Facebook business page: what to do right now

  1. Use Meta’s official recovery tools: facebook.com/hacked for Facebook, and instagram.com/hacked or the “Forgot password?” option on the Instagram login screen. Never pay or share codes with people offering to “recover” your account in comments or DMs.
  2. Secure your email account first, since it’s the key to resetting everything else: change the password and enable two-factor authentication.
  3. Contact your bank or card issuer if unauthorized ads are being charged, and remove the card from Meta if you still have access.
  4. Ask other admins of the page or business portfolio to check access and remove unknown people.
  5. Warn your customers through your other channels (website, email, Google Business Profile) not to respond to suspicious messages.

How long does it take?

Your questions, answered

No legitimate agency can bypass Meta’s verification. We help you use the official process correctly and secure everything around it.

No. These offers are very often scams.

Report them to Meta and to your bank or card issuer as soon as possible. Outcomes vary, so act quickly.

Use two-factor authentication on every admin, keep at least two trusted admins, use a secure email, and be cautious with “copyright violation” or “page will be deleted” phishing messages.

Not necessarily, but if the same passwords were reused, check it. See WordPress site hacked for the warning signs.
