    Default Is my Facebook Account hacked ?

    Hello, when I go to log in to my Facebook account, I use the 2 step process involving the password and a code sent to me via SMS on my mobile phone. I power off the mobile before I enter the code, and leave it off for the duration of my FB session.

    After a while in the session I go to Settings/Security and Login/Where are you logged in/ and see that there arre many dodgy places where there appear to be unauthorised logins, from the look of it. Russia, Brazil, Syria and of course, the dodgiest of the lot, Sydney.

    I am based in Townsville, but usually seen as having logged in in Cairns.

    Facebook are impossible to reach. I have changed my password frequently, and I never store passwords on my browser.

    I have deactivated my account and set up a new one, but the login locations appear again.

    I have checked my wife's Macbook Air Fbook logins, and it only shows she is logged in with her Mac and her iPad in Townsville.

    i am not using a VPN when connecting to Facebook.

    there is an option to Close all these Logins, ( see bottom right hand corner of screen image) and that works, just leaving my Cairns connection, but a little while later, in the same session, they are back

    Can anyone please suggest a way to stop there odd logins?

    Following.

    I'd deactivate ALL sessions, set two factor authentication, then set notifications via email.

    As a precaution I'd also check your email password and do a scan for nasties on your devices.

    Interesting to see so much variety in location. I'd double down and check your bank security and ensure all your info is up to date.

    Perhaps also do a free credit check. Just to be safe.

    I'd also deactivate/cancel all the recovery codes... Also the Authorised Logins. Kill them all!
