A friend sends you a Facebook message, warning you that you've been hacked.

"HACKED???"

Don't worry, you've very likely not been hacked at all.  In most cases it is merely someone who is an IMPOSTER; someone who has created or cloned your account by copying your profile picture and name and is merely impersonating you on Facebook.  While this is not a really huge deal, it can turn into a big problem if left unattended and should be fixed right away.

Here I talk about what you can do about it, how to report it and fix any damage that may have been done, and steps you can take to see that it is a lot less likely to happen again.
