Hacked from Facebook?

Ashill5

Wednesday night, I got message from a friend on Facebook which contained a link to an unknown website. Being completely naive, I clicked into it. It led me to a fake youtube website which I think phished my Facebook details. Paranoid as I am, I changed all my security settings and password from another computer as soon as I realised!In the past two days, Facebook will not let anyone log in from our computer. It is closed due to "technical difficulties". The worrying problem is that my brother is apparently chatting to people sending them links, on Facebook, when he cant even get ON his page! We changed our passwords from our phones and hope that this stuff will stop.Even our Internet is being affected! Google is working as far as the search results page, but once you click anything, you're redirected to seedier sites.Im just wondering has this happened to anybody else and if so, how was it fixed? Thank you for any replies:)

It is probably worth scanning with something like the free version of ad aware to see what you've downloaded or accidentally installed on your system.

Also, is your anti-virus up to date?

Sounds to me like adware / malware. Your internet would not be affected by a Facebook hack. The redirects on Google would be a hint to that. Update your internet security and scan with SpyBot SD.

Run malwarebytes and ccleaner.

cm is the TLD for Cameroon, so its likely it redirected you based on your IP. Unlikely to be malware unless you've jailbroken your iPad and installed something funny.
