SUMMARY: Suzanne Tucker, founder of Generation Mindful, had her company’s Facebook pages hacked in October, losing access to over 1.3 million followers. Despite repeated attempts to resolve the issue through Meta, her requests were ignored, causing significant harm to her e-commerce business and personal life. After eight months of frustration, Contact 2, through Mike Colombo, intervened and helped restore control of her pages and remove the hackers. Meta stated it invests in technology to prevent scams and verify identities.
