What is actually happening when a Facebook account is “hacked”?

764 views

I’m specifically referring to things like the ads for cheap sunglasses that I’ve been seeing for what seems like over a decade now and the more recent “look who died in an accident” video links that three of my elderly aunts have had on their accounts in the last year. Who is “hacking” these accounts and what are they gaining from it?

This thread is so frustrating. The subject is not wether or not this must be considered “hacking”, but what is happening when people unkowingly post the same ad for cheap sunglasses, sometimes tagging their friend in it ?
