The hacker has linked his meta horizon account to my Instagram and taken full admin control of shared accounts. I have no more details than just the mail address [REDACTED] of the meta horizon user. This has become an quite common issue from meta and I hope you have solution for this Also the username of Meta horizon showing in my insta is Vijayml, who currenhas access to my instagram account. Could you please temporarily/permanently unlink so that i can relink it with my own meta account. Also I am unable to reply to the private messages in the community forum of metaquest

In my case i subscribe on meta verified for 1 month. Because if you subscribe on meta verified the security of your account will improve and you can delete accounts on your  accounts center. But before that i create a meta horizon account and i report the hacker on https://communityforums.atmeta.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/16864

 And they gonna ask you this

Thanks for the advice. Maybe stupid question- but how do I create another Facebook account if I have only 1 phone number? When I tried it said it couldn’t be created. 
I’m experiencing the exact scenario you described. Hacked Instagram recovered however tied to Meta Horizon account that I can’t remove because passcode is going to hacker’s email

Can I have the email address to contact for this same issue !?

I've also been hacked the same way.  I've tried messaging Meta, but no help at all. 

Hello,

My Instagram account has been hacked by someone who created a Meta Horizon account using a disposable email. They took control of my Instagram, logged me out, and I can no longer access it. I have tried every possible recovery method, but Instagram does not allow me to regain access.

This is an urgent matter, and I need Meta's support to contact me as soon as possible to resolve this issue. Please let me know how I can proceed.

Thank you.

Hi the same has happened to me , can someone respond as this is an urgent matter and I would greatly appreciate if my account was back
