Someone keeps logging into my Facebook from an Unknown Location

[shizz]

The first time this happened to me was during the summer, and facebook alerted me and logged me out of my account. The person who logged in did it from France. This has now happened to me twice in the last 2 weeks, and both times the location has been unknown only giving me an ip address which can't be tied to a location.

I'm using chrome and wondering what I can do to stop this. Is there a key logger on my system?

Change your Facebook password to something long & complex (like more than 12 characters using upper and lower case, numbers & special symbols). Make sure you're not using that password anywhere else.

If any other accounts of yours use the same password as the compromised Facebook password, then change them all to be unique.

If it happens again after you have a new, unique, strong password, then it's time to look at other problems.

Just out of curiosity, what other problems could they be?

This goes for me as well.

When I said "other problems" what I was trying to say was that I would not leap to the initial conclusion that you have a keylogger installed on your computer based on what you've said. IMO the most likely fix for the problem is to change the password to a new, strong, unique password. If you change it and still have the same problems, only then would I personally start to think about something locally being compromised.

Rather than lay down 1000 possible ways it could have happened, it would be more productive (IMO) to see if changing the password fixes the problem. If not then we can explore other possibilities.

edit: Another way to tackle it is to consider all the accounts that you access from the same computer. Have they been compromised? If they all have then I would consider the possibility of a keylogger. If it's only been one account, then it seems unlikely it's a keylogger. Personally if I went to the trouble of installing a keylogger on someone's computer, I would be far more likely to log into the victim's bank account instead of Facebook.

I don't think someone from France would hold a grudge on you bro. It's probably a VPN or something of the like. When i used to hack i used programs like Hotspot Shield and PeerBlock and even though im in Australia my computer was in Argentina if you know what i mean.. I'm not a hacker anymore though. I instead help people protet themselves from hackers. PM me if you need any advice.
