I have. I did everything as instructed. From the moment I noticed thge problem (less than a minute in) I followed the instructions (including responding to the email alerting me to the password reset that I had not sent in that request). I have been able to get to a screen that says download your data but it does not seem to work.

You should be able to download your data only if you can access your account.  Thats why I was focused on getting your account back.  But you mentioned it was disabled -- is it because it violated community standards?

Yes, the hacker sent out messages under the new name. After the account was disabled, I was texting with friends about it and they all asked if the hacker was Tran Thanh because they had gotten messages from that name. Appartently using this name as a hacked name has gone on for years because I know another person who had the same thing happen 4 years ago.

I am able to access the account but this is what I see.  When I try to download nothing happens.

The frustrating think is that this is a really simple case that any reasonable security system should have seen. A windows computer in Korea (according to the report) is used to reset a password that is immediately used to change the name and profile picture. A 5 year old could see through this.

I'm sorry, once it is disabled, and the information within it is not accessible.  As for how you got hacked, it all takes a link from someone via messenger or a corrupted link within Facebook, or you gave a code to someone in Messenger.  That's how.     I am on top of everything, and Im very wary of links that I am skeptical to click.  Thats your advice to protect your accounts in the future.  Also in Password & Security, create 2 or 3 very trusted people to have access to your account should your account have been compromised, that way you can get your account back faster. 

Right now, only way I can suggest is that you create a new account with a new email address, and go from there.   

The reason nothing happens when you try to download your data is your account is inaccessible at this point.
