Large influencer accounts without two factor authentication...

The only useful reaction to this is to point and laugh.

Also large influencers who cannot influence much without Meta's platforms... they will simply not complain too much about it if they like their "job".
No. Meta's account recovery flow disables 2FA. It's idiotic. 2FA for Meta accounts serves no beneficial purpose.
I think the hack bypassed 2FA. If you can call “asking for account access” a hack lmao
It did not, TFA clearly says it worked for accounts with no 2FA, as GP said.
The hack doesn't have much to do with it. Meta account recovery flow has always allowed bypassing 2FA.
Why did this not work for 2FA accounts then?
