Posting this here is preaching to the choir. But businesses don’t always get to choose what’s popular (especially amongst their target market) so… just an FYI:

Facebook / Meta willingly allows hackers to retain control of business pages despite proof of business ownership citing policies that make recovery “out of scope.”

that's a bullshit policy, especially if you can prove ownership. though, i can't really say nostr fixes this either. if someone gets ahold of a business NSEC then that's on the business.

Yeah but Nostr doesn’t have the business manager where if someone’s personal account gets hacked and they are an admin of a business manager or page then the hackers have access to that to remove all other admins and hack everything that one personal account had access to.

There’s a more one to one with the hack if it happens here.

Basically the Facebook business manager itself entices businesses to have less security because they tend to assign a bunch of people as admins no matter their tech skill.

Now I do still question how hackable Nostr might be but it’s also not going to be two weeks of being strung along by “support.”

And I wouldn’t feel quite so bad about exploring options to try and hack the hacked account here IF it was that important to me. I feel like that would come back to bite me if I try to hack the hacked account with Facebook.

This actually happened because an admin hated Facebook enough that they didn’t have 2fa enabled and I didn’t think I needed to have that talk with the person because they are generally security minded. But that also means accounts without 2fa are more hackable on Facebook than they should be because he wasn’t tricked into giving someone access.

I think I may also be most upset about wasting so much time AND the way “support” was handled. I was repeatedly told to use live chat and sent a support link where there was no live chat. It has come across as valuing the privacy of the hackers more than the digital asset of the business.

🤷‍♀️

Meta is capable of giving the page back but they are unwilling.
