Meta Account Hacked β Attacker Changed Email & 2FA, Recovery Impossible
My original personal Meta account has been compromised. An unauthorized person added/changed the email address and enabled authenticator-based 2FA that I do not control.
I still control the original phone number associated with the account. Meta successfully verifies my phone number during recovery, but immediately afterward requires a code from the unauthorized authenticator. This makes recovery impossible.
Accounts Center also shows an unauthorized Windows PC session in a location I do not recognize. I have never used a Windows PC for this Meta account.
I still have access to my connected Facebook account and can see the compromised Meta account in Accounts Center, but I cannot remove the unauthorized email, remove the unknown session, reset the Meta password, or change 2FA because each action requires authentication controlled by the attacker.
I have already exhausted the standard Meta recovery options, including password recovery, phone verification, device recognition and 2FA recovery. They all ultimately return me to the unauthorized authenticator.
I created this separate Meta account solely so I could access the Community and request assistance.
I can provide screenshots and account-identifying information privately to verify ownership.
