Off-topic: I just got an email notification that someone was trying to log in to my Facebook account (enter the 6 digit password, blahbla). The email came from FB w/ the blue check mark asking if it was me who asked to change the password. I replied to that email saying it was not me, and then the Facebook app opened. To note: this was while I was on my Samsung phone. If people don't look closely, could happen so quickly - getting hacked is something I experienced with IG over a year ago and lost all of my content. It was the most defeating feeling in the world. Had to change my handle name and everything 🥹
NEVER click on a link that comes to you via email or text, unsolicited. Hackers are good at making the links look real. If you ever get an alert like that, go into the actual facebook app or website to check your account.
Have you been targeted by an Amazon scam? What happened?

Hi Larice,

Yes, I have changed all passwords and engaged two-factor authentication for both FB and IG.
