How do I report a friend's Facebook hacked?

If he doesn't use Facebook very much, just send him a message now for when he does log on. If he's not seeing the posts, it won't be worrying him will it ? Once he does log on, he can report it then.

How come you can't contact him by some other method ?

I have sent him a message but its quite likely that the hacker has changed his password so he won't have access to his account at the moment. He hasn't posted anything himself so he is either unaware or can't get into his account. I have sent his family members messages so hopefully its only a matter of time before this is stopped.

As for contact, he's just one of those friends that I don't see too often now and don't have an email or phone number for nowadays. I keep in contact with many friends solely through facebook for various reasons.

He may have an email address attached to his profile, go to his profile and click about, and look under contact info on the left hand side, it should list an email address. If it's a non facebook address then email him on it.

Post a comment next time one of these updates appears saying something like 'X's account has obviously been hacked - we need to let him know - is anyone able to contact him?'

then all of his FB friends will see it.

OP think i need to say this it's obvious by your posts that he/she isn't a real as in met in the flesh friend. If your cyber pal has family on his facebook then they would tell him about his account being hacked, the family would be in the same country as him as well.

As you can only contact him via facebook then If the account has been hacked then any message you have sent will not have been seen.

Not that it really matters but he's an ex work colleague of mine who moved abroad for work a few years back so he was someone I knew well in the flesh but only kept in contact through facebook. He's single and went abroad alone and his family are still here in the UK so I'm not really sure how you managed to jump to those conclusions!
