Have they always had such a 14-day policy? If not, it’s entirely possible that the policy was different when the account was previously deleted, and the account was being retained under that old policy.
I’m also surprised that his hacker didn’t bother changing his password - maybe it wasn’t intended to be an account takeover.
- Insanity 9y agoConspiracy theory: It was facebook pretending to hack is account so he would log back in and hopefully stay using the service. But OT: I'm sure that unless they are legally forced to remove the data, they'd rather keep it.
- ydt 9y agoI briefly had a Facebook account years ago before deciding I didn't like it. I deleted/deactivated my account. About 6 months ago I received an email saying that 'someone' had reactivated my account and that if it wasn't me I should log in and visit the help center. My old password still worked and there had been no activity. I strongly suspect this was an attempt by FB to get me back on board.
