Hacked 1.3m Account - What steps to take?

[Newelly]

I have gotten an account of mine hacked, it's currently sitting at 1.3m followers and can no longer gain access to it nor any of my emails regardless of it being linked to the instagram or not - my second page got deleted also.

What to do?
I have submitted a hack report to IG.

I can't help you.. But damn man, I feel for you!
Hope you get them both restored asap!

Best thing to do is to report it to Instagram. Hope you get it back though!

That sucks, but I don't get one thing. Why so many of the big Instagram pages get hacked? Do you guys take care of the security of your account(s) at all? It's very easy to secure an Instagram account in my opinion.

Done this already but there support normally sucks.

This might sound raw,but i think you can try hacking it back. My elder bro had a similar issue out of negligence,after two sleepless nights, he hacked it back.

Just wait the IG support reply, You will be asked to provide a registration email and a few uncropped pics from your feed. It doesn't take much time to restore an account, especially if you have a proof that you're the original owner.

That's strange today I saw a thread with a guy selling hacked accounts: www.blackhatworld.com/blackhat-seo/...s-followers-fresh-buy-now-bit-ly-1ocaonx.html

IG support will help you, be patient. After few steps you'll get your account back.

Does anybody know how these accounts get hacked? Are they truly "hacked" via the phone or something, or is it just being lazy on the account owners part. I'm not saying this is the OP, but I hear and see so many accounts that get hacked. Does IG have a security issue or is it just people being lazy.

The owner gave away his password. Simple stupidity that these idiots will never admit too because they will get laughed at. So naturally they will claim that they didn't give out their log in details to anybody to save face.

Sounds like you have already done all you can, short of hacking it back, but that's not recommended.

I know, I wouldn't even know where to start in order to hack it back - they got the main email and anything linked to it too!

All by pure coincidence I bet ;-)

if they have your original email, i think they hacked you not instagram

Someone hacked FB itself, had shell access. I imagine he could take any account he wants: http://thehackernews.com/2016/04/hack-facebook-account.html
