Luckily I have 2 factor authentication on Fan Duel. And now on Instagram.
I got a notice that my Instagram payment declined. I opened my account and 3 credit cards were linked, none were mine. Then they're were four attempts to buy a $420 massager. I noticed the name of the seller matched the name of the shipping address. So I messaged it to the Tangophoa sheriff's office as it was in Ponchatoula.
Now changing all my passwords to a new Mnemoic.
Luckily I'm not out anything. But I must have part of some data beach because I use long complicated passwords.

They probably got your email. Change that first.

So, someone stole your instagram to put their own cards on it so that they could buy things.

I did. But they came up with a new yahoo email and added it to my account.
I changed my emails and almost everything else. Mainly worried about things that have my payment info stored.
I have most of my cards set to where it text me right away and I have my debit cards locked at $75 so I have to unlock them to spend more than that on the apps.

That's what is odd. But u think they weren't their cards. But they used their name.

Meta pay. I never heard of it before either.
Apparently you can set up stores on meta.

I never really use Instagram. So I was shocked to see the 4 payment failures.

$420 for a vibrator? Inflation is out of control.

There have been a lot of those going around lately. Recently had a call alleging they were from Chase about an issue with my credit card. Called my phone, used wife's name, and used a card that was replaced due to fraud.

In addition to the dual authentication, and setting spending limits, you may want to look into a password manager app. That way you can set (or have the app set them) a different complex password for every account you use that also has banking/cc info stored on it. And now you only have to remember and change the master password for that site; until they ultimately get hacked.

One time someone hacked my Insta and turned it into a porn account.

All I got for this thread.

Admins,

“Napoleon” is claiming to have two other online accounts hacked today.

For the sake of being safe, should you all consider temporary suspending “his” TigerDroppings account until you can validate that it is really “him”.

In my opinion, it is suspect that “he” has four posts in such a short period here if “his” other online accounts are actively being attached right now. That doesn’t sound like how someone with sense would prioritize their time if they were being actively hacked.

Thanks,
UncleLester
