Recovered cases

Recent Facebook recoveries

Two real cases, shown with permission and without client names.

  • Before and now: a disabled Facebook Page, recovered and back in use
    Disabled Facebook Page
  • Before and now: a suspended Facebook account, recovered and back in use

Shown with the client's permission. Names are withheld. Every case is different, and Meta makes the final decision. We never ask for your password or OTP.

Business Manager lockouts affect ads, Pages, and agency workflows.

We help with verification, documentation, and escalation assistance where appropriate.

If your Business Manager or business portfolio was hacked

Meta now calls Business Manager a business portfolio in many places, and the recovery route is the same. Do these at the same time, because ad spend can run while you wait.

  1. Stop the money. Call your card issuer, ask them to block the card and dispute unauthorised charges. If you can still open Ads Manager, pause any campaign you did not create and remove unknown payment methods.
  2. Secure every admin. Fix the email and personal Facebook profile of each admin first (facebook.com/hacked).
  3. Use Meta's route for hacked business portfolios and contact Meta Business Support, which Meta directs advertisers to.
  4. If a Page was taken, also submit Meta's hacked Page form from the admin profile.
  5. Write down each charge, its date and the unknown people, partners or apps you see.

See Business Manager hacked: stop ad spend and recover.

What to check once you are back in

  • Remove unknown people, partners, system users and apps.
  • Remove unknown payment methods and review who can spend.
  • Restore Page roles and require two-factor authentication for everyone.
  • Keep at least two trusted people with full control, so one lost account cannot lock the business out.

Disabled instead of hacked? Read Meta ad account or Business Manager disabled. A personal profile hack that started it is covered in hacked Facebook account recovery, and Page-only cases in Facebook Page recovery.

Common questions

Can you restore a disabled or hacked Business Manager?

Meta decides every restriction and reinstatement. We review the case, identify which asset is affected (ad account, Business Portfolio or the admin profile) and help with Meta's official appeal and recovery routes.

A hacker ran ads on my card. What now?

Remove the card or contact your bank straight away. In Malaysia, call the NSRC on 997 if money was taken, then secure the admin profiles before appealing.

Do you need my password or login codes?

No. We never ask for passwords, two-factor codes, backup codes or session cookies.

How fast will you reply?

We reply within 60 seconds, 24 hours a day, every day after you submit a case review.
