Because all these emotions were so heavy and I would hate it if this happened to any of you, I decided to share my Instagram hacking story with you and also how to avoid this happening to you! Here is my story and all my tips & tricks! How to recover a hacked Instagram account and how to avoid hacking problems Luckily I was able to recover my Instagram account myself, but not everyone is that lucky or knows how to do it. Was it all worth it to start all over from scratch? How would I ever retrieve all those thousands of people who were following me? I felt all the energy drain from my body and I even started questioning my blog. The feelings that went through my mind and body that day were a horrible nightmare: panic, anxiety, extreme sadness, disappointment, desperation and anger. I was totally devastated seeing all my hard work from the last 6 years and all my followers just disappear. Those who follow me on Instagram know my Instagram account got hacked this week. So you have a hacked Instagram account and you wonder how to recover it? Or you are lucky and it didn’t get hacked (yet), but you want to know how to best secure your Instagram account and what more you can do to avoid losing your account? You have come to the right place!
