this crazy hacking story is brought to you by storyblocks this snowden-esque
mastermind hacker right here somehow got into my facebook and instagram accounts which had
two-factor authentication on by the way and stole eleven thousand dollars from me you can't you
can't make this stuff up ladies and gentlemen you know what he did with that eleven thousand dollars
he went and created a business called starry bra to promote his bras in vietnam so in today's
video i'm going to tell you my crazy hacking story because it was the worst experience of my entire
life and i'm going to leave you some tips so it doesn't happen to you so let's get into it so
when this hacking happened i was already in the most stressed state i had ever been it was like
the beginning of tectober when you have to make a ton of videos and there's just so much going
on and it's also end of quarter so all the brands are like let's do fun things together
so i'm just overwhelmed with work and then i get a little email because someone may have accessed
your facebook account someone actually hacked my account awesome whatever i'm like it's facebook
i'm sure i could just get this account back if i just follow the procedure so i go into google
i search someone accesses my facebook account i think i got hacked how do i get it back and you go
to this one landing page where you have to like insert your top three friends i'm like i don't
like we're here five friends and i'm like ah i didn't even know so i was like well probably
my wife is one of my top friends so i insert lizzy and it shows my three top friends and
then what i need to do is i need to get a code from all three of them one of my top friends
is my my my mom and now i have to tell my mom that i've been hacked which is even more stressful in
my opinion than the actual hacking hey mom i got actually i knew when your father downloaded that
copy of forrest gump off of limewire 10 years ago this would come back to bite us in the ass
literally as i'm talking to my mom and guiding her through the code process i get an email from
paypal that says that facebook has charged me 623.63 for facebook ads which means the hacker
has gotten into my business.facebook.com and started creating ads and spending my money on
advertising great awesome it's monday yeah so happy best monday ever seconds later i start
getting texts from all my friends being like bro i think someone hacked your account there's all
these like weird ads and they literally posted this ad right here who who is this hacker so he's
so stupid that he used my account to promote his instagram account for followers like what
so i literally i literally have them here i can show you the account right now

here this is lee baobao which i will refer to him as little bow wow now this is the mastermind
so that's the guy who hacked my account awesome mastermind genius little bow wow
little bow wow gets into my account and now he starts dming people through the creator portal
on facebook to my instagram account okay so after all of this i finally get the codes from all of my
close friends and i actually get my account back i kicked little bow wow out i go and change my
passwords it changed my email i literally changed everything double check that 2fa was on and then
i started looking like what did he change on my facebook page because he's changing profile
pictures i go into my business account and see that he started multiple pages one of them called
starry bra and the 600 that he spent was literally on bra ads in vietnam so i go and delete starry
bra and gear store and all these other things that he created finally reset all my accounts again and
now i have to go through the process of trying to get my 600 back so then while i'm still on the
business side over there on business.facebook.com i noticed that he had started a little like chat
with one of like the representatives on the sales side he says can i increase my ad spend to five
thousand dollars for shadowing so i finally have my account back i'm like i can i can
sleep well tonight i do my snooze time and then i wake up i check my email and right there
someone may have access to your account awesome yes let's go tuesday morning so i do the process
again mom my account got hacked and i get the code so i get my account back change everything again
and i'm thinking like how is this even possible i have 2fa on i didn't get any notification didn't
get any text or anything like that again just little bow wow gone in my account again three
hours later i'm on a call with apple talking about the new iphone 13s what another email
someone may have access to your account right now so i'd leave the call now i'm battling little
bow wow back and forth like he's in my account i get knocked out then i'm back in trying to knock
him out and he's just a better hacker than i am because i'm not a hacker and he is in my account
and i'm fully locked out so i'm like whatever i got the secret like code thing i just gotta ask my
mom again and at that point because i had tried it too many times that day literally facebook thinks
i'm a robot i'm literally messaging my mom how am i a robot at this point tuesday at 4 30 p.m
had officially lost the battle to bow now 78. how now brown cow so here is the lovely lovely thing
about facebook because it is so big they do not have a customer service line they don't have a
number at like 1-800 facebook sucks.com or that's not a number whatever you don't you don't have
anywhere to go to talk to anyone so literally at this point i'm like helpless i can't do anything
i gotta start strategizing how do i how do i get my account back so i message my friend nano
and he actually has a contact at facebook because he spends a ton of money on ads every year so he
kind of has somebody he's in touch with so he starts explaining the situation and then we get
on a call with somebody at facebook ticket is open and i can definitely understand the urgency here
i completely understand there we're gonna take a look at all of that and we'll be reaching out as
we get updates to summarize he's just like i've told everybody that this is happening and you got
a ticket and you're in the queue now i'm like when when does this get solved this is my job by the
way i'm an influencer don't you know how long he's like huh it just takes time how long time don't
you know about it it takes that so literally at this point i'm like trying every single strategy
and every angle to get my account back because i didn't believe texas sales facebook man over there
and then i do a story on instagram because i still have my instagram account he's not in it he can't
like post but he's like talking through the crater portal so he's still in my dms so i go to bed all
snoozy times i was sleeping comfortable ish and i wake up and i get an email from paypal that
five thousand dollars has been taken out for facebook ads for freaking bras and vietnam
and then i'm like oh cool five thousand dollars great and then i go and check my
credit card because my credit card was also linked another five thousand dollars was taken so eleven
thousand dollars is taken at this point and guess what to boot it was like a family reunion day so
now i have to be at this family event wearing some stupid cardigan talking with my cousin being like
nothing in my life is stressful at all so remember how i mentioned i posted a story
on instagram saying like i got hacked can anybody help me if anyone knows anyone on facebook would
love to talk to them well my friend life with elliot slides into my dms he's like dude i had
the exact same thing happened to me last year i actually know somebody who is head of security
at facebook that might be able to help i think it was like an hour later i'm looking at my
email and it goes someone may have access to your account so it's literally little bow wow
battling out the facebook security team and i'm watching it play out in my emails in real time
eventually i get one email that says like it's time to reset your password get your account back
i change everything and i officially have it back at this point so now the next thing was to get my
money back i get my money back two weeks later i get the refund from paypal and then i get the
refund on my credit card and then i get the refund back to paypal for the first 600 charge so i don't
want this to happen to you i reached out to a good friend of mine his name is phil no he is
all about cyber security and he gave me four tips to leave with you that will make sure that this
never happens to you number one there's literally a website called i have to read it here because i
don't want to get it wrong have i been pwned.com go to have i been pwned.com to see if there's been
any leaks of your passwords online if there has changed them immediately number two i know it
didn't really happen in my situation because i had two-factor authentication on but if you don't have
2fa on for any of the things that you're signed up for turn it on if the option is available number
three is if you're using the same password for all the things that you're signed into
don't not a good idea i know it's easy but literally if one of your passwords gets leaked
a hacker can get into almost everything that you have so you can use like a master password
software application like lastpass or dashlane to be able to have like one thing that you sign into
and then it manages all your passwords highly recommend i'm using lastpass and the last thing
is securely write down all your passwords in a notebook write them down put them in a safe
have them on a physical piece of paper those are four tips that will prevent you from hopefully
ever getting hacked and losing eleven thousand dollars a little about wow 78. so where am i at
right now so it's been a month since this has all happened and i'm still restricted from doing any
advertising on facebook even though i'm constantly messaging them being like i would like to promote
my own products not bras anymore so that's where i'm at hopefully this will all get resolved soon
but yeah protect yourself don't ever put yourself in a situation like this change your passwords
