Facebook attempted hack

[brums evil twin]

So I have had a few emails giving me the change of password code. I have not asked for a password change so I guess someone is trying to hack my account.

When the first one arrived I changed the password on Facebook. This happened a few weeks ago - now today I have received a few more attempts and emails. Is there anything else I need to do?

Any suggestions to prevent this or keep myself from being hacked??

Thanks

Turn on two-factor authentication if you haven’t already.

If you still have the same email associated with your FB account then you'll keep getting the notifications - doesn't matter how many times you change your password. As has been said, enable two factor authentication and you should be fine. Don't expect the notifications to stop though, unless you actually change the email address associated with your FB account.

Do you have any other social media, I have 3 Instagram accounts, 1 is my personal and 2 are hobbies.

I started getting emails from Facebook with codes and links (genuine emails), I was out one night on the lash proper heavy session and at about midnight I got a message on one of my hobby accounts of a very similar account asking if I could vote for them in a competition. I said yeh no worries send me the link. Next morning I woke up messages off this account saying we have sent it, then they proceeded to tell me they had emailed me the link and what I needed to do was copy the link and send it to them....

They wanted me to send them my Facebook authorisation link, I started playing with them and eventually called them out.

2FA is needed these days.

I was getting the same emails recently. I immediately changed the FB password, just in case, I also have 2FA on . After checking the emails where actually from Facebook, I clicked the report button, did this on two emails and the emails have stopped.

I started receiving these just over a month ago. My first action was to enable MFA using Google authenticator.

Still get them, but I know my account is safe(ish).
