Hi

I have a friend who has had their Bebo page hacked. Would someone be able to tell me how to trace this person.

Thanks

Both and were right to point you toward the site operator — only the service that hosts the account can pull the server logs (login timestamps, IP addresses, user agent strings) needed to start a real trace. As a practical matter you cannot reliably identify an intruder from the browser or a home PC alone; attackers commonly use proxies, public Wi‑Fi, VPNs or Tor, and ISPs will only release subscriber details to law enforcement.

Practical steps you can take now:

  • If your friend still has some access, secure the account: change the password, check and restore recovery email/phone, turn on two‑factor auth, and revoke unknown active sessions and third‑party apps.
  • Scan any machines used to log in for malware and reset passwords there too — attackers often steal credentials locally.
  • Preserve evidence: screenshots, exact timestamps, messages and any IP strings or emails from the site. Note the account name and any changes made by the intruder.
  • Ask the site support team for an abuse/security case number and request the login records and source IPs. If the service is unresponsive, file a cybercrime report with the appropriate agency.

For breach checks and reporting resources see Have I Been Pwned and report crimes to IC3 or IdentityTheft.gov. If you want, paste a sanitized timeline here and we can help draft the message to site support.
