    The quote you highlighted suggests it was an issue with Instagram, not OnlyFans…but Facebook has all kinds of account protection options, so I’m guessing Instagram does too.

      I may be very wrong, but it sounded to me like the problem isn’t the account getting hacked - the problem is the account getting suspended or removed by the platform itself. So 2FA etc will not help at all.

      In some cases, the scammers apparently have a way to get the suspension reversed, which makes you wonder whether they actually work at Meta/OnlyFans, and are suspending accounts for no reason, in order to ransom them back to the owners.
