How do I find out who tried to hack my facebook account?
I recieved an email from facebook saying “facebook password confirmation request” even though I had been offline the time that it had happened. Also, my friend has changed her password, so you don’t think that it might just send it to everyone on her contact list [including me]. What’s happened did someone try to hack me or not… ?
Michelle answers:
Someone tried to change the password on your facebook account, nothing else.
In order to prevent hacking, Facebook emails you and asks you to confirm you made the request to change, then you can change it. The only way someone could change it without your knowledge is if they know your email login details and can get in and delete the request email from Facebook after changing it.
If no one has access to your email account, you are safe, don’t worry. Maybe you ought to change your email password anyway, just in case an ex-partner is playing games on you.

Why do I get sent to myspace whenever I try to log onto facebook?
Sometimes whenever I try to log onto certain sites such as facebook, I get sent to myspace with a message: Oops we were not able to find that page. I don’t even have a myspace account and hate it with a passion.
Michelle answers:
Sounds like you fell for a phishing attack, it’s when hackers make fake pages to look like login screens of whatever website they want, then when u type in ur username and password it doesn’t really log you in, cause it’s not the real site you think you’re logging on to, and your username and password are stored in a text file together for them to see and then they do what they want with ur account

facebook login problem?
is anyone else having problems trying to login to facebook??
Michelle answers:
Facebook has been doing some updates as of yesterday. They already accomplished tweaking the Game Update feature if you hadn’t already noticed, which was the reason for downtime yesterday. It shouldn’t take long. 🙂
During this might you might experience blank pages, pages saying “server could not be reached,” broken links, glitchy features, slow performance, prompts to download Facebook pages, etc. This is normal; just be patient.
Contrary to some other answers, a) its servers have not been hit by lightning because that’s not possible, b) it’s not the end of the world, c) its servers have not “shut down” or whatever – upgrading the website does NOT mean the servers were shut down, and d) it’s not happening to everyone – Facebook usually updates some servers at one point, and then others at other times. Facebook might be down in one country or region and up in another.

Thomas asks…
Having problems login on my Facebook?
Michelle answers:
Go to your computer bring up the Facebook login screen like you normally would. Do not fill in any information.
2
Click on the link above your Facebook user name and password that states forgot your password. This brings you to a different screen.
3
Fill in the email address associated or on file with your Facebook account. If you cannot remember, keep trying different email addresses until you do.
4
Click enter and a Facebook reset link will be sent to your email so you can recover your password. It usually takes up to 5 minutes. Check your spam email folder if the email does not appear in your inbox.
5
Click the link in your email and answer any security questions by Facebook. This brings back to the Facebook website.
6
Reset your password with a phrase you will remember mixed in with 1 to 2 numbers or more. Record this in a notebook or on a safe place. Use a different password than you would for your email. This decreases your chances of having both websites compromised.
