We’re getting more and more reports of Facebook accounts being hacked and used in phishing or virus attempts, so we’ve gathered info from other places around the web to put on one page we can send our clients and contacts to if it happens to them.

The first time you know that your account is hacked is usually when one of your friends tells you that they’ve received a dodgy link via DM, or you’ve been posting ‘weird’ links on his / her wall – the DM spam is usually a video link that then asks your friend to log in, thus getting their Facebook account details and spamming all their friends, and so on it goes.
