Facebook users are being suspended by hackers with fake Oculus accounts — it sounds crazy, but it's true

Techradar · 1y

Hackers are using a backdoor in Oculus to compromise Facebook accounts, leading to wrongful suspensions for thousands of users. By creating Meta accounts linked to Oculus, the hackers bypass two-factor authentication and gain full access to victims' accounts. This problem has been ongoing since October 2022, with no official action taken by Meta or Oculus. Frustrated users are demanding solutions, and the issue has been reported to media, data protection agencies, and government officials. Content creator Dan Astin-Gregory is calling on Facebook and Meta to address this security breach promptly.
