Facebook i.p. logs?

dirtroadblues · 06-22-2009, 03:45 PM

Does anybody know whether Facebook will provide me with a history of i.p. addresses from which my account has been logged into? I think someone has been using my account and would like to somehow check! I've sent Facebook messages through the website, and also info@facebook.com and info-rt@facebook.com, but have received absolutely no response

Anybody know what Facebook's protocol is on this issue, or know a better way to contact them?

I doubt they'll cooperate. Unless you are an attorney or the police who can provide some sort of warrant forcing them to turn over the logs.

Best thing to do is change your password. If too much damage has been done to your account, log in and cancel it and then create a new one.

And that's probably what fb support will tell you....if they respond.

I would be very surprised if Facebook provided that information to anybody.

I'm a software guy and I don't know anything about the law. You may be able to get a court order compelling Facebook to make the information available to you. You'll have to get legal advice and help to go down that route.

Hmmm... any idea how one might go about getting such a court order? Is there much time and cost involved? I know this is hardly related to i.p. but I figure someone may know!

You'll need to contact an attorney to get an exact cost.

But, my gut tells me it'll be more than $1000.
