🕵️‍♀️ Introduction

In today’s digital world, losing access to your social media account can feel like losing part of your identity.

If your Facebook or Instagram account has been hacked, don’t panic — you can recover it safely.

At Pak Trusted CyberOps, we help victims every day recover their accounts and protect themselves from future attacks.

Here’s a simple step-by-step guide on what to do if your account gets hacked 👇

🔹 Step 1: Don’t Panic — Check for Access

First, try to log in immediately using your old password.

  • If you can still access your account, change your password right away.

  • Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) in settings — this adds an extra layer of protection.

🔹 Step 2: Recover Your Account Using Facebook/Instagram Tools

If you’re locked out, both platforms offer recovery pages:

Follow the steps shown — usually, they’ll ask for your email, phone number, or ID proof.

🔹 Step 3: Secure Your Email

Many hackers first access your email linked to the account.

  • Log in to your email and change its password too.

  • Check for security alerts or suspicious logins.

  • Remove any unknown “connected apps” from your Google or Apple account.

🔹 Step 4: Inform Your Friends & Family

Post from another account or ask a friend to tell others that your profile was hacked.

This helps prevent the hacker from scamming your contacts through fake messages or links.

🔹 Step 5: Report the Incident

If you believe the hacker is blackmailing, sharing private data, or impersonating you, report it immediately.

You can:

  • Report to FIA Cyber Crime Wing (official helpline: www.nr3c.gov.pk)
