Thats what happened when a hacker deceived Facebook gained access to someone elses account.
He provided them with a fake ID and requested the tech giant to turn off login approvals.
It was no surprise that the hacker was able to get Facebook to grant access to the account.
When panicked Thompson checked out his email and figured out what happened.
I dont have anymore access on my mobile phone number.
Kindly turn off code generator and login approval from my account.
The hacker then sent what looks like a scanned photo of a fake passport.
That scanned image was also forwarded to Thompsons email account with the response: Thanks for verifying your identity.
You should now be able to log into your account.
According to Thompson, none of the details other than the name in the passport were accurate.
like look further into this, it will be easy to see the account has been hacked.
They sent a fake ID to Facebooks help team to reset the email, and password, he wrote.
Its blatant harassment, he said.
