b y clicking the "This is my account"
- Next, click at "Email me a link to reset my password"
- After that, click "Continue"

d provided and click "Continue"

facebook account on the column "New Password" next, click "Continue"

2. Report your account has been hacked
- The hack happened sometimes not just a hack. They could use your account to send spam to your friends. You can report it through the address http://www.facebook.com/hacked/.

3. Contact your friends
Sometimes the purpose of hackers does fraud using your account. It could be your friend on Facebook will become its victims. Therefore, after conducting a rescue that you do, contact your Friend directly personal to inform that your account has been hacked via SMS, e-mail, or other means.
4. Remove the access application is not required
Facebook provides an API that allows other applications to access your account. Of course, because it is using OAuth, access rights each application, there are in the hands of you. Because sometimes there are applications that are deliberately made to hijack your account, immediately remove Your access applications that do not require through Account Settings > Apps. You can see the level of access each of your third-party applications.
That's a few steps that you can do when your Facebook account hacked by someone else. Hopefully this article can help you and we can be more careful with evil in cyberspace.
