As a rule, attackers hacking VKontakte pages not to receive personal information, but for mass advertising mailings (spam) or for a request from friends on your behalf. So if you find that your page is hacked, then immediately warn all your friends about it and restore access to it. There are different hacking situations - when access to the page remains or the password changes and there is no access.

What to do if I was hacked in VK, but there is access to the page?

If someone recognized the password from your page and sits on it, but the access is not yet lost, then you need to make the following (through the computer):

Open your page settings and go to the section "Safety"
Choose here "Complete all sessions"

Immediately after that, access to VKontakte will be closed on all devices except your computer. To open a page on them again, you just need to go again.
Do not forget to change the password, suddenly he is known to the attacker and it will not be difficult for him to go to the page again. This is also done through the settings:

Here we indicate the current password for the page and the new one, and then confirm the changes by requesting SMS messages.
After the input, the code received, the message will immediately be displayed that the password is successfully changed.

If your account is not tied to the phone number, then first do it on the same page. Indicate your number and confirm it by SMS. This will protect you and allow you to restore the password if necessary through the phone.

If you don't remember the password, then leave the page and click "Forgot your password?"

Here enter your email, login or password and come further

Confirm the action by solving captcha

Next, enter your last name, which is indicated on the page

After that, the system will show you the proposed page. If she is, then lose "Yes, this is a page necessary for me"

After that, you will be sent a code to recover by e -mail

The letter will contain a link to restore access. Cross it and specify the new password

What to do if I was hacked in VK and access to the page was lost?

It also happens that it is not possible to enter a hacked page. In this case, notify your friends in any way of hacking. After all, on your behalf they can ask to transfer money allegedly, just to a mobile phone, or somehow.

Perhaps now the attacker writes messages to your friends and they think that it is you. In addition, ask friends to send a complaint to the page through the “complain” function. This is required so that the page is frozen and scammers could not deceive anyone.

Immediately after hacking the page, be sure to restore access to it and change your password. It is also important to note that when sending spam from your page, it will be blocked. So do not be surprised if you suddenly restore access and the account is frozen.

Perhaps you will be allowed to unlock it immediately, or maybe you will have to wait for a while. In any case, scammers will definitely not reach her.

What to do if you hacked the VKontakte page and changed the data?

In this case, do not worry, because all this can be changed back. In addition, the frequent change in data is controlled by the VKontakte administration and therefore, after entering the information, it is still on moderation for some time.

Be sure to go to the section "Edit" And there look if something has been changed, and also fix it if something has already changed. It remains only to save the information and that’s all.

As a rule, pages with complex passwords are rarely hacked, and therefore, if you find yourself in a similar situation, then think about creating a very difficult password. In addition, today VKontakte allows us to write in Russian letters. You can mix them with English, add numbers and large letters.
