Is this hearsay or is there proof? Aside from @danny saying it was from an fb employee, there’s nothing else to indicate it was, and I wouldn’t trust the word of a hacker/recipient of a hacked account.
- croh 6y agoWell what he should conclude if support doesn't work at all.
- Nbox9 6y agoInstagram has poor customer support.
- jmcgough 6y agoEven if the fb employee bit is untrue (I'm also skeptical), it indicates that someone can take over your account like this with no recourse.
- Nbox9 6y agoWell, no one is taking over my instagram account because I don’t have one, but it does indicate some people are taking over accounts with no recourse.
- whoknew1122 6y agoI think the biggest 'proof' there is that the twitter account states they haven't received any 2FA requests. Assuming we're taking this as truth then: 1.) Somehow MFA got disabled on the account (or avoided altogether) 2.) Could've got SIM swapped. However this seems rather unlikely, as there are no other reported IoCs which point toward SIM swapping (i.e. can't call or text). > "I wouldn’t trust the word of a hacker/recipient of a hacked account." I wouldn't discount it. This isn't some APT that ran a Stuxnet operation. It's someone who allegedly exploited a system to get an og account. The whole reason people want og accounts is because they're a status symbol in some circles. It's quite likely that someone associated with stealing an og is an immature braggart. So they may do things immature braggarts would do... like talk about their TTP.
