Can a hacker reactivate your Facebook account?

Asked by Jude (32204points) March 4th, 2009

A friend who had deactivated her account awhile ago, discovered a few days ago that her account was “reactivated”, but she didn’t do it. Just wondering how this could be?

If “hackers” actually do anything more than serve as a scapegoat for media technophobia, I’d imagine that they certainly have better things to do with their time than reactivate old Facebook accounts.

Did she try to log back into her account although she deactivated it? Because that can reactivate the account.

Other than that it is possible for someone to reactivate if they have the username/pass for facebook or her email.

@Hobbes Win. That is so true about ‘hackers’. Although they do exist… they are a scapegoat.
