how could anyone hack mine, i have a very very unique password, not known to anyone.
he / she has posted twice on my public pics...i cannot understand for the life of me how he could have done this...some things on his profile make me think he has gotten the hump with me over a past girlfriend maybe, only my thoughts
Block him.
I have no idea how its done but I do know its done, on a regular basis, and done to people with "very very unique" passwords.....by the way a thing can't be very very unique....either its unique, ie there is one one of it....or it isn't....and yes Rocky is right, if its a real person then just block him or her.
Question Author
it is blocked now but that still doesnt answer my question, how could this of happened,

and...can anyone please provide me with a link to how to properly report this and make my sure this does not happen ever again....trying to find my way in facebook help centre is confusing to say the least
How to make sure it does not ever happen again? The only way is to leave facebook.

thanks woolgang but you " can checkin anytime you like but you can never leave "
You need to change your password and use two-factor verification in order to avoid such cases as you've been hacked by someone. But I can tell you that change of password may not help. I had the same issue and was fighting about a month until I secured all my pages. Facebook has such issues all the time.
Question Author
if someone hacked into my account why then did they only comment on 2 photos ?

i cannot understand it, if i hacked someones fb i would delete everything or say more bad things on every photo not just 2.

as i say my password is very very very unique
How did you live your life before social media?
Bin it off.
You're using social media now Theland.
I love it when this happens, someone links to a thread and then someone links to the other thread on the linked thread....

Down the rabbit hole we go.
