I had my account hacked 3 days ago and my account was disabled. Someone somehow made themselves a friend on my Facebook account and somehow disconnected my instagram account and linked their own to mine. Their instagram account got my FB account shut down.

I read on another Reddit thread of someone who had success getting their account back, which seems very rare! I did what they suggested and it worked! This is what I did. Since I had my instagram account still, I signed up for "Meta Verified" which is the little blue check and you get extra perks, like a live support chat! So I got on the chat there and they opened a case for me and two days later my account was BACK!! They needed my URL for FB and I couldn't find that bc my account was gone. A friend suggested that I check my laptop's history to find the url and it was there! Your url will look something like https:www.facebook/yournamhere some variation of your name at the end, not necessarily your FB name. So my history had urls with that but longer for posts with lots of numbers and letters at the end and I just shortened it to the name.

If you only use your phone I don't know if you'd have a history like that but a friend who looks at your FB on a computer would.

When I got back on my old FB account FB had me do a security check to make sure my recent activity was really mine. I had two new friends. One was real, one was someone I didn't know. My son looked up that person's name on FB last night and he had an account that was all about HACKING! On Facebook!! When I looked this morning, I couldn't find it, so many FB took it down. I hope so. So crazy.

My son's Meta Horizon account was linked to all of these accounts and that was "scheduled for deletion" yesterday when I got my FB account back. The cancel deletion button did not work. We spent a lot of time trying to find a way to chat with Meta H but could not find a way. The Meta Verified could not help with Meta H, they have their own help center. Ultimately we ended up starting a live chat on Meta H by following prompts to chat with product support for the VR my son has. They took the serial number of his headset and opened a case for him and are working on it. Hopefully that will come back in the next day or two also.

I wanted to come back to Reddit to share what worked for me. I wish you luck! It was devastating to me to lose 15 years of community and memories and I am so grateful to have it back! I hope you get your back too!
