How was my facebook account hacked?

[Fluffley Wuffley]

1. Did you have a security question set up on facebook?

She could of tried to reset your password via facebooks forgot your password thing. If she hasn't changed the emails associated with your facebook then reset it by pressing forgotten your password and typing your email in. It will send you an email showing you how to reset it.

2. Has she hacked your email too?

If she's hacked your email, She would of pressed forgotten your password, and sent a reset email, then reset it herself. So regain control over your email account, then reset it. But as you said you got a text from them, you obviously had your phone number linked to your facebook, so reset it the same as I said before and it will send you another new password request, then simply reset it yourself. I'm not going to give you step by step instructions on how to reset your password, it's pretty straight forward.

To stop it happening again I suggest you change your security questions and this time keep the answers to them private. My facebook email is different to my msn and stuff and I have it hidden from everyone else, So if you do get your account back, make an email account JUST for facebook and keep it hidden from your friends.

If you don't get it back make a new account, report your old account, readd all your friends and tell them to delete the other account and that it got hacked, and apologize for any unusual messages they might of got from your old account.

Sorry if I sound blunt with you, I wrote this with a headache...
