Facebook Account Disabled?

[PaulMacC]

Posted this here because the one in Discuss Anything wasnt getting much help.
I logged in today and it said it was disabled due to the fact that it may have been compromised or something of that nature, sent them a reply to the automated email that said to reply to verify I was the owner of the email account that had been linked. Awaiting reply, my account right now is basically non-exsistant, when I sign in it says it has been temporarily disabled for security measures as said above it may have been compromised. I dont know how this happened, scanned my PC and everything else seems to be fine. Anyone else experienced this before and know what and how long the procedure is? Does Facebook do this randomly because I dont know how my account could have been compromised. I was on it at like 3AM yesterday and when I woke at 11AM it was disabled.

Have you signed up to any sites recently, or clicked any suspicious looking links, apps etc - once i noticed my facebook had sent out links to loads of people although usually im security concious.

I check the URL bar everytime I sign in plus I'm always on auto-sign in.

Ask your friends on msn or something if they noticed any suspicious posts or anything before your account was disabled.
Have you been using facebook on someone else's computer recently?

How oftern do you change your password? Facebook has been hacked a few times.

[PaulMacC]

Havent changed my password at all since I made my account, havent opened any links or msn or used any other PC to log on.

Eh, no it hasn't.

I cant think of any other reason that someone tried accessing your accoount. What does it say about removing this 'block'

Your account has been temporarily disabled as a security precaution because Facebook has determined that it may be compromised. When an account is disabled, the profile and all information associated with it are immediately made inaccessible to other Facebook users. What this means is that you effectively disappear from the Facebook service. In addition, Facebook does not use information associated with disabled accounts.

I'm assuming some ass has tried to get into my account or falsely accused me of stealing my own account. I was asked to click somewhere, they sent me an automated email which I was told to reply to, to receive further instruction. I replied yesterday at about 5pm, no reply since.

Yeah, that was awhile back, before I tried to log in and got this message:

"Suspicious activity has been detected on your Facebook account and it has been temporarily suspended as a security precaution. It is likely that your account was compromised as a result of entering your password on a website designed to look like Facebook. This type of attack is known as phishing."

My account also was disabled and I got the same reply. Facebook encourages you to add new friends all the time and when you add too many they disable your account without warning.

The most common reason for disabling an account is use of a fake name. Facebook requires real first and last names. You'll find more details on this Facebook page.

What happened was that I was playing a game named Metropolis and I mass added peoples email addresses from Metropolis forums in Facebook as this kind of behavior used to be safe and accepted earlier or so I think

Lalala, gotta be one of them.

Any reason is that someone got a keylogger or a RAT on your PC and tried accessing it but because of paypal are alert that the person accessing on the other side of the world will temp disable your account.


Just reply to what facebook are asking for you

Eh, no it hasn't.

Maybe not 'hacked' but I'm there have been many flaws with facebook, and if I remember correctly there was some big problems around this time last year where tones of accounts became compromised.
