I've had my account hacked, too. I used to own:
https://www.instagram.com/kaler/ https://www.instagram.com/kaler/
Have owned it since Instagram launched and it was connected to my Facebook account which I've had since 2005 or so.
There is no hope with contacting Instagram/Facebook support.
- donkarma 5y agoLink doesn't show anything to me, was it deleted?
- sova 5y agoIf you know someone who works there (Kafkaesque absurdity surrounding social-media operators) you can recover an account asking for help politely.
- Sebb767 5y agoAs far as I know, that's actually how these 'high profile' takeovers work. You know someone at Insta and politely ask/silently pay to get your account "back" or take over an "inactive" account.
- sova 5y agoReally? Do you have any evidence to support this claim?
- coolspot 5y agoI know someone who works in a major social network company. They got an email on their personal gmail, asking to help acquire vanity usernames for a reward.
- sova 5y agoWell yeah, but is your friend who works at <social media company> going to risk their position & salary there for some sketchy hook up that's less lucrative?
- LordDragonfang 5y agoNot everyone who works for a social media company is a six-figure dev. There's a lot of underpaid helpdesk staff and even-more-underpaid "independent" contractors for whom it might be worth the risk, and they're the ones who actually have access to the account recovery tools.
- hansolosays 5y agoHad the same thing happen to me. Was in the closed beta and now there is no way to get it back.
- wombatpm 5y agoSeems like it is time for a class action lawsuit
- megablast 5y agoSue for what?? Accounts are free. Go make another one.
- timdaub 5y agosame here. I had an account that is now selling bras under my name. Tried contacting FB support so many times, nothing ever happened.
