It was what is known as the Lily Collins hack. A moniker earned by the hackers changing profile names and pictures to the actress.
“Think before you click, don’t just click on something because your friend sent it to you,” said Nikolas Behar, Professor of Cybersecurity at the University of San Diego.

“Once it finds your Facebook cookies, then it establishes a Facebook session on your behalf because it has those cookies, then it could go ahead and change your profile name to Lily Collins, or they could message your friends on your behalf,” said the professor adding that this is exactly how the virus jumps from one page to the next.
And it may not stop there. If you’ve logged into any other sites using your Facebook credentials, the hackers may be able to access those too.Don’t trust links sent to you by anyone without verifying first what they are.Set up unique passwords for each online account you have with two-factor authentication if available.
Payyappilly agrees. He finally got his personal account back but continues to try to regain control of his business page. “I try contacting them, and they just keep ping-ponging me,” he said. Also, keep in mind that some malware can also grab other passwords you have stored in your device or computer, so like the professor said, “Think before you click.”
