Someone at Facebook stealing your domain is quite an accusation. Assuming your domain was similar to your username/IG handle, wouldn't it be more likely to be people wanting your "china" domain for spam/malware/propaganda/etc?
- klohto 5y agoNot really. It already happened several times since short usernames go for crazy amounts.
- china 5y agoI think the stealing of my domain was a bit of social engineering by a hacker (not somebody at FB). Now, my account gets taken without any noticeable trace on my end. No security emails, no suspicious login attempts, nada...

- barbazoo 5y agoIt read to me like that, yes.
- jmnicolas 5y ago> Someone at Facebook stealing your domain is quite an accusation. NSA employees do it, why would META employees would be better than the average?
- barbazoo 5y agoI wouldn't count a NSA employee as "average", I'd assume they have access to tools the "average" doesn't have. Comparing that to someone at Facebook just doesn't make sense.
