My girlfriend's Facebook got stolen via a novel technique a few years ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/facebook/comments/14nbp1a/major_fac...

Once the hacker got in, they enabled PGP with a random key to prevent the account recovery process from working. It took many, many months to get the account back after the attacker used the account to max out advertising spend. Meta did and does not care.

I realize now: why would they change anything? They made money off of the interaction
