My older relative’s facebook account was hacked a few months ago. He has been trying to get it back but the hacker changed his phone number and email. He still has access to his old email and phone. It’s astounding that fb/meta doesnt have an easy way to resolve this. Thoughts? Anyone working in meta please help, hacker is starting to post inappropriate posts. 🤦♂️ TC: 🥜
When you realize for the first time that Facebook is garbage.
there is something called two factor authentication. Now learn from this and enable it on all accounts that offer it
Its for a 75 year old non techy person. His password may or may not have had *12345
what is 75 year old doing on facebook
One of these two links worked for me a year or so ago. It wired for a friend a couple months ago too https://www.reddit.com/r/facebook/comments/k4c3yn/my_account_was_recently_hacked_and_the_hacker_set/?rdt=39761 (https://www.reddit.com/r/facebook/comments/k4c3yn/my_account_was_recently_hacked_and_the_hacker_set/?rdt=39761) https://www.reddit.com/r/facebook/comments/ogz626/this_is_a_lengthy_post_but_is_a_compilation_of/ (https://www.reddit.com/r/facebook/comments/ogz626/this_is_a_lengthy_post_but_is_a_compilation_of/)
You have to keep doing it for days but it does work.
There is an easy way: facebook.com/hacked
This is going in an infinite loop. Recover account - options are to send email or text to new email/phone which the hacker owns or login using new password which was changed
Exactly, send the reset link to a new email that isn't hacked. If not clear talk to a person and then will walk you though it.
