Yes, suddenly my personal FB is blocked (for illegal login attempts) and I was like what the heck then followed their instruction to retrieve the account, not really a big thing; they asked to change the password

Then within 10 mins my personal Gmail account also blocked as of with illegal login attempts, this clarifies that someone is trying to get access to my accounts

Right now, I'm changing the passwords of my accounts and applying 2- way protection

Nothing Big happened as I acted fast, if I were not I don't know what creepy things they would do :)

Good thing you acted in time, 2FA is a must for important accounts. Don't re-use the same password between accounts either.

Chrome has a feature for a while now, which notifies you, if you try to use a password, which has been compromised before. Probably that's how the attacker got your password(s), through some previous leak.

yeah I agree, ppls should use 2FA :rolleyes: :)
 
Probably your system is infected with virus or malware. Use Malware bytes to clean up your system
 
Update your password from time to time, and you can use 2-factor authentication. These things will help you to maintain your account privacy.

yeah just did that

Happened to me also once related to my FB account when I shared something very important related to the account.

Did not get that
what did you share related to the account?
 
I wish if there was a system - whenever someone enters a wrong password - a customized message with picture will be shown on Gmail - the original owner of the account will be able to put a customized message and a picture for whoever tries to access the account with a wrong password

Actually, I shared that my bug got accepted in their bug bounty program. Someone might be trying to access account to see details or claim money I think.
 
I think you should now change the Gmail of your Facebook account as the hacker already knows your Gmail and he may again try to hack your Gmail account to get access to your Facebook account.

Oh I see

Will look into this, Thanks mate
 
Hacking a FB account is almost impossible because of the 2 ways verification. The person who hacked it must be someone you work with or have contact with them constantly.
