Two things, short version. 1) If you missed the news: apparently a flaw in Meta's AI support flow got abused to take over a lot of Instagram accounts (reports say around 20k). I don't really get the technical side, but the basics still apply: - turn on 2FA with an authenticator app, not just SMS if you can - save your backup codes somewhere offline - secure the email on your account too, that's what they go after first - do a Download Your Information backup while you're at it 2) Every time someone posts 'my account got disabled', a swarm of 'I got mine back thanks to [some guy], DM him' comments shows up. It's all the same scam. They take money (crypto or gift cards usually), then ask for more for 'final verification'. A friend of mine lost a fair bit this way. Nobody outside Meta can restore your account. Report and block. Also, as far as I know there's no phone support for regular users here in the US. Any 'Instagram helpline number' you find on Google is fake.
