Finally back in my hacked account after 4 weeks!

Looks like you're still getting a response from FB. I was also lost so my attempts to recover my account went unanswered by FB.

I don't understand what those hackers want from our accounts. My ad account only has a limit of 25 and no Verification Pages

you're in luck but I find that usually accounts that are changed but don't link the ID will not have a chance to get your account back. Have you been trapped in a strange link?

Usually they will change all your information and replace it with email/pass mail/2fa. Looks like they didn't get anything out of that account.

Nice, good tip but I suspect you got lucky this time around. It's good you posted about it regardless though, Meta should really fix their account security and such because these are some needless headaches.

That's certainly a factor we can't rule out entirely. I think the system is having some difficulty which reports are "legitimate". It's not like they can afford to have a human go through the reports individually.

It's hard to think about that luck, but I think you should be careful and put in a second level password before it happens to you again.

it's hard to expect accuracy from their machines, let's sympathize with them and best keep safe our own accounts together

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to do an update as I posted desperately asking for help when it happened! Someone in Vietnam managed to hack my account and quickly deleted my email, phone number and associated devices, so obviously I was screwed and was trapped in the stupid cycle of requesting new password, but obviously didn’t have access to that hacker’s email. I tried several email addresses associated with Facebook help and never got a single response.

Anyway here’s how I got back in: I just kept trying! And one day after about 3 weeks the cycle of death changed and they asked me to upload ID as proof, and bam I was in. No idea what changed. The weirdest part is it doesn’t look like the hacker did ANYTHING in 3 the weeks they had my account. Nothing sent to my contacts, nothing duplicated, no scams on Facebook marketplace, I’m pretty sure they never even logged in again cos I had my partner checking constantly. What the hell was the point?!? I’m so done with Facebook and their useless unhelpful bullshit that I deleted my account as soon as I was back in, it was just too traumatic knowing some scammer could see every private message I’d ever sent, facebook can literally go to hell.
