Meta allegedly fired or disciplined over two dozen employees for misusing — and, in some cases, taking bribes for using — an account recovery tool over the past year.Oops is a long-running shortcut to Facebook and Instagram’s typically automated account recovery process, designed for acquaintances of Meta employees.Meanwhile, outside Meta’s workforce, some businesses offer account recovery as a paid service to creators, promising they can pull strings inside the company.In a statement to the Journal, spokesperson Andy Stone said that “individuals selling fraudulent services are always targeting online platforms, including ours,” and that Meta would “keep taking appropriate action” against rulebreakers.And for individual account holders, a hack or password problem can mean losing a major communication channel or even a commercial storefront."
