I've heard stories from other ad managers where accounts were hacked and used to advertise foreign dropship jewelery websites. The websites would get free advertising from the hacked account.

I was witness to something like this. Employee of a rather large agency I was consulting on an account with signed into a cyber cafe in a foreign country and got their FB account stolen. For reasons beyond me an agency spending a good 10mm+ a month on Facebook ads didn't have 2fa required for employees and 20k was spent on an a middle eastern dropshipping store overnight before anyone caught it.
Isn't an issue with Facebook that personal and professional accounts are often linked?
Aren't they always? You need to link it to some account and Facebook doesn't allow creating two personal accounts.
You're correct. It's mandatory to have a personal account to access a business account.
It's required actually.
