Hello,
I am writing to report that my Instagram account @michourson has been hacked. The hacker changed all the account details, and I am now unable to access it. The person trying to access the account is pretending to be me, but it is not. Attached are the documents to support my claims.
The email address, password, and phone number associated with the account have been altered, and two-factor authentication has been turned off. Additionally, I submitted a request to verify my identity two days ago. My name is Maxime Fernandez. I also have a photo with security codes that were in place, but they have been disabled by the hacker. Please compare this with the information provided in the attachments and on @michourson.
I hope for your assistance in recovering my account.
Sincerely,
Maxime Fernandez

I have been dealing with a hacked account issue for over three weeks now. Despite multiple attempts to contact support via email and through the Instagram app, I have not received a response. The account username affected is wglnn__. The hacker has changed both the associated phone number and email, preventing me from accessing the account or changing the password. I am seeking guidance on how to proceed with having the account shut down. Thank you for your assistance.

Hello, following my reports about the accounts @kb_kaynou and @by._kenza13, I would like to know what progress has been made. These two accounts belong to my daughter who is under the age required to have an Instagram account (under 13 years old). My daughter's name is Alycia Covelli, she is 11 and a half years old, born on 29/01/[redacted]. As you can understand, I am her mother and I was not aware that she had these two Instagram accounts. I tried to delete them from her phone, but I do not have the passwords. If you can help me remove them, that would be very kind! Thank you for listening. If you need identity cards or family booklets for proof, please feel free to ask.

I wished my nephew a merry Christmas recently. He requested me to get the cash app to help him with something special. I created the account as requested, and he then asked for a link. However, when he sent the link, DuckDuckGo didn't allow it, so I used Chrome to navigate to the website. Unfortunately, shortly after that, I lost access to my account. The email for account recovery has been changed, and I am unable to regain access as an authenticator was never set up by me.
My Instagram account is: ChristopherIngalls__

Hello, my Instagram account has been deactivated. I am eager to have it reinstated. I assure you that I didn't engage in any illegal activities; my only actions were following others and receiving follows based on their own choices. I did not coerce anyone. My Instagram username is georgianaaureld and my email is [redacted] I didn't use any apps to gain followers, likes, or comments. How can I demonstrate that I haven't violated any rules? I cherish the memories on my account and would be genuinely happy to have it back. Please, I am willing to cooperate to have my account reinstated. Your help is sincerely appreciated.

Добрый день, 20 декабря [redacted] года мою страницу ErshovaNabieva взломали. На ней была опубликована история с просьбой о сборе денег, а также фотография, где, якобы, мой ребенок попал в аварию. Я обращалась за помощью, но пока не получила ее. В настоящее время я не могу зайти на свою страницу, так как учетные данные были изменены, включая адрес электронной почты. У меня есть только номер телефона, на который приходит код, однако система также запрашивает второй код, которого у меня нет. Я очень прошу вас помочь мне в этой ситуации и либо заблокировать страницу, либо восстановить доступ к ней.

My account: [redacted] Unfortunately, my account got banned on Instagram, even though I didn't break any of the platform's rules. I followed all the procedures, and I sent photos as requested. Surprisingly, I got a response saying the pictures didn't meet the requirements, even though they did. In my account, the photos are organized in groups, so the one you need is a bit further in the feed. The photos in the email attachment match my account's content. My Instagram is precious to me, so please review it carefully and assist me in resolving this issue. I've reached out numerous times without success, and I'm feeling quite frustrated with Instagram's lack of response. Thank you for taking the time to listen. God bless you.

My previous phone stopped working, so I purchased a new one. However, I'm now unable to access my Instagram account because I can't recall the password, and my account is linked solely to my mobile number. Despite attempting to receive the login link through my number, I keep getting an error message, stating "we can't send the link due to your security settings." How can I regain access to my account? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

For the second time, a hacker has impersonated someone I know, using a video likeness of Shelby Lynn Berry from Colorado. She has reported the issue. I allowed her to assist me and changed my profile email to "[redacted]" and then to "[redacted]" However, I faced problems receiving the necessary code and got locked out of my account as the hacker altered the information. I would appreciate it if my email could be reverted back so that I can reset my password. My name is Leslie Berot from Georgia, born on 11/02/[redacted], with the email [redacted] linked to my account. My recovery email should be [redacted] Please assist.
Thank you,

My account was hacked, and the hacker replaced their email with mine. They changed my password and the linked phone number, locking me out. Since I didn't have an email linked or two-factor authentication set up, I couldn't recover my account fully, only up to my old phone number. I know the hacker's email linked to the account and have screenshots of their admission to hacking and threatening to sell my account unless I paid $[redacted]. I sent them a $[redacted] Google Play gift card which they claimed didn't work and used it anyway. They are still holding my account ransom, demanding another $25 gift card. I have screenshots as evidence of this incident, including when I was hacked and their pricing for my account.

I recently joined Instagram and received a direct message from an individual offering to send money via Cash App through Instagram. They requested an email to proceed and provided a confirmation code. Despite being unsure, I trusted them as they showed a screenshot of a similar transaction. However, after the exchange, I was unexpectedly logged out of my account. When attempting to log back in, I discovered that all my contact information had been altered.

I received a notification from Instagram asking me to verify my account ownership. Since I no longer have access to the email linked to my account, I submitted a video selfie verifying my identity along with my new email. Instagram confirmed my identity, but now I am unable to access my account as it still requires verification sent to my old email, which I cannot access.

Hello,
I am currently unable to access my Instagram account as it has been locked. The issue arose as I utilized 2-factor authentication and exhausted all my backup codes following the removal of the app that generated temporary 6-digit codes from my phone. Regrettably, I have a tendency to forget my passwords, necessitating the habit of writing them down. I recall that one of the eight backup codes can be used once, and prior to changing to my current password, I believe I may have utilized the last one which now escapes me.
Is it possible to regain access to my account? I am willing to provide whatever verification is needed to establish my ownership. The account holds significant sentimental value due to the memories associated with it.
The username for the account in question is @system.32._, featuring an anime character as the profile picture with the account name displayed in the eyes.
I am hopeful that a resolution can be found to recover my account.
Thank you in advance.

Hello, my Instagram account has been disabled for a while now. I reported a previous account I had, trying to get it deleted. This action seems to have caused confusion, leading Instagram to associate my Apple ID with the issue. Consequently, I can't log into any accounts on my devices. Oddly, I can still access it through Safari, but I prefer using the app to post photos.

My Instagram account has been hacked, and the hacker changed the email, username, and phone number, preventing me from requesting a login link to regain access. After spending hours searching through the Instagram Help Centre, I have not found any viable solutions to recover my account aside from the login link option. I have photos and can provide video or photo evidence to verify my identity. It has been days, and I am exhausted - all I want is my Instagram account back. If there are any alternative solutions besides the login link, please advise me on what steps to take.

Hello Facebook & Instagram,
A few days ago, my Instagram account got disabled, which led to my Facebook account being disabled as well. I rely on Facebook a lot and have been using it for a long time. It's crucial to me because it contains many old photos. Please, I really need my Facebook account back. Thank you so much.
Best,
Sachin F. from Bharatpur

My account login tantra_witchh has been hacked. Scammers have been messaging my followers pretending to be me, asking for money for my mom's treatment. I've asked my friends to report the account as it's now in the hands of these scammers. It's been 2 weeks now since I've been trying to recover this account. The support team hasn't been responding to the email I provided for the account recovery. I even sent a video selfie, but still no response. Currently, the video selfie program is not working, so I can't resend it. The scammers have changed the email and password. Please send instructions on how to recover my account to my active email address, zmeikaax8gmail.com.
