- No way to report hacked account
- I have been attempting to report my hacked Instagram account for the last 2 days but have not been able to find a way to do so.
- My account was hacked over the weekend and the email, phone number, and password have all been changed.
- Any help would be greatly appreciated.
- Try creating a new account and using it to find your previous one. Search by #s or @s, go to a friends account and find one of their posts you were tagged in. The hackers probably changed your name, profile pic and bio info but not any #s. If you find it, screen shot it and then use the form to report it from your new account. I don’t know any better or easier way.
- Which form are you talking about? I can't seem to find any form for reporting a hacked account?
- edit: the account name, profile pic and bio info have not changed
- go to settings and click help> report a problem
- take screenshots of your account
- It took me 3 weeks to get my account back after filling out the help form ever day for 2 weeks straight and then giving up.
- When were you able to get your account back? Ever since Facebook purchased Instagram, they have disabled support requests. I don't know how I can get that "verify your identity" email where they ask for your picture.
