Heather at Keep it Simple Social Media and I have been managing dozens of Facebook Business pages and advertising account for over 10 years. Lately, my Facebook personal account, Facebook business page, Facebook messenger, a client’s ads manager account and our business manager has been either hacked or compromised.
This happens to the best of us but there are steps to take to PROTECT your account and to REACH out for HELP with Facebook if it happens. Please note, if you are worried about the security of your account, let Facebook know right away: https://www.facebook.com/hacked.
1- PROTECT YOUR ACCOUNT WITH A TWO FACTOR AUTHENTICATION.
“Two-factor authentication is a security feature that helps protect your Facebook account in addition to your password. If you set up two-factor authentication, you’ll be asked to enter a special login code or confirm your login attempt each time someone tries accessing Facebook from a browser or mobile device we don’t recognize.
You can also get alerts when someone tries logging in from a browser or mobile device we don’t recognize.”
To do so:
- Click in the top right of Facebook.
- Select Settings & Privacy > Settings.
- Click Security and Login.
- Under the Two–Factor Authentication section, click Use two–factor authentication. You may need to re-enter your password.
- Next to Recovery Codes, click Setup then Get Codes.

I’m so excited that my business page is back again, after a long suspension. Thanks to the great cyber recovery expert who helped me recover back my account, with her knowledge, I got her details from the internet and I contacted her, she was so polite and very reasonable, She asked me some questions and I answered her, she gave me instructions and I followed it up, within 24 hours of doing what she asked me to, I got back access into my account. Don’t hesitate to contact her. She’s real, reliable and very effective. Contact her through email: chloe.consultant1@gmail.com or 1G chloe_consultant she’s 100% efficient and reliable.
After exhausting every option to recover my social media accounts, I was incredibly fortunate to be referred to Angelina, a dedicated and highly skilled professional at META. Her expertise and swift, reliable support were exactly what I needed. In under 24 hours, she helped me regain access to my account—a level of efficiency I hadn’t experienced elsewhere. If you’re facing similar account recovery issues, I wholeheartedly recommend reaching out to her. You can contact her on Instagram at ANGELINA_CHRISTOPHER1738 or via email at ANGELINACHRISTOPHER1738@gmail com. She’s the trusted expert you need by your side.
XAP Credit Solution is the BEST. I cannot begin to express with words how much I APPRECIATE XAP…with every box I opened in my new home I said THANK YOU GOD for XAP…They went ABOVE and BEYOND to ensure my family had a place to call home…I have never had someone who didn’t know my family work so hard for us like team XAP did…we are forever GRATEFUL for their GOODNESS and KINDNESS to our family…we TRULY APPRECIATE every WAKING moment they spent WORKING on our behalf…we can never repay them for what they’ve done for us…but our family is BLESSED because they were willing to go the EXTRA MILE for us…we are so THANKFUL for her WISDOM…PROFESSIONALISM…EXPERIENCE and EXPERTISE…For everyone interested in hiring the services of a credit specialist, I want to strongly recommend “XAPCREDITSOLUTION at Gmail dot COM”. They fixed my credit score and cleared all the negatives as well as inquiries and I was able to buy a house now. Again….Thank You XAP!
Despite being real, it still feels like a dream. Upon discovering this page and the group admin’s recommendation, along with other community evaluations confirming its legality, I felt compelled to give HACK WEST a try, trusting that whatever outcome I would have to accept. Helped me raise my credit score from 540 to 810, which surprised me the most. Delinquencies focusing on TU, EQ, and EX were eliminated. In fact, they enhanced my report with a few tradelines, I was able to qualify for a house and car loan afterwards. Much appreciation to HACKWEST AT WRITEME DOT COM.
