How to Detect & Secure Hacked Social Media Accounts

Even celebrities and public figures aren’t safe from account takeovers. Here’s how to spot if your social media account has been compromised:

• Unusual posts you didn’t make
• Strange messages sent to friends or followers
• Login alerts from unknown devices
• Profile info or password changes you didn’t authorize

What To Do Immediately​

If you notice any of the signs above, take action fast to secure your account:

1. Change your password on all linked accounts
2. Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for extra security
3. Report the account to the platform
4. Warn your followers if malicious content was posted

Important Reminder​

• Accessing or sharing someone else’s hacked account is illegal.
• Always act ethically and help secure accounts, don’t exploit them.

Pro Tip​

Regularly check your login activity and keep your accounts protected with strong passwords and 2FA.
Stay vigilant - prevention is always better than recovery!
