that time when i got hacked in instagram

ngl i was also hacked in instagram acc and it was the worst thing that ever happend to me bc these hackers decided it was a good idea to use a GIRL account who is A MINOR and use my face asa profile picture and put a link in my bio that take them to some website to pay money that get sented to them as an offer for some inappropriate vid , pics or audio and all of it was happening to my acc without my knowledge bc i was during exams and ofc i was the type of person who doesnt use this app alot so yeah ,

but after weeks passed and all , i decided that i should maybe check my messages in insta thinking why do i have so many notifications alot and then i stumbled upon alot and i meant it lot of MEN and BOYS texting me and some even trying to pay me and some sented me inappropriate pics , i had to clean my acc , unfollow everyone , changed my passwords and all , and then had to make a report about and which instead for getting a normal logical answer which mind you i had proof i took screen shots of how long i didnt use insta , the profiles everything and yet they did nothing, WHY? bc ofc its AI it delayed what i reported and now cant do anything about and youll think why dont i just change my acc which I DID but still i get texts alot lately or follow requests from the same men over and over again , and one day on those ppl who hacked my acc decided that it will be a great idea to contact me through my phone number , honestly its just some messed up stuff that makes me angry about , i was at a complete breaking point at this point bc they didnt leave me alone and how messed up some ppl minds are

the reason am saying all of this that because at the same time after finishing my exams , my grandpa passed away , and i couldnt handle the fact he died and am not feeling alright ever since that day , because guess what ? my mom is a person who always uses this app and she realized that in her recommendations alot of acc that belonged to this men/boys followed me at same time and i followed back which i didn't it was ofc the person who hacked my acc , and obviously my mom got worried if i talked to anyone and i had to explained to her the situation and which ofc she didnt listen and broke her trust with me thinking am doing weird stuff talking to some guys online , and mind you i was the type of kid who had free internet access back then bc my parents didnt pay attention to what i was doing back then so i dont think theyll trust me at this point

idc about bc i wasnt the type of kid who watched or did or play games that were weird i just fell to the 2017-2019-2021 type of feeds and all so i kinda got my childhood from that and learned stuff alot more than what my parents taught me

the only thing that is on my mind is sometimes i am thankful at the same not thankful for what i experienced in this social media and all platforms , doesnt matter , but seriously if youre a parent or not just make sure what kids or siblings or someone young you know might go through in social media .
