Facebook deletes hacked Pages

Businesses and individuals using Facebook Pages are getting booted off their fanpage with no way back on, and it's costing some of them money.

Admin of the Page

Because they are no longer an admin of the Page, they have no standing with Facebook and no way of getting rid of the usurper and are mostly told by the social network that the only option they have is to report it as "infringing or violating their rights" so that it will be deleted. However for many users, this is a difficult option to swallow afterwards months, or even years, spent building up their fanbase.

Ali Naqvi, owner and director of 123vouchercodes.co.uk, lost his Page around three months ago at great cost to his business.

A Facebook spokesperson told The Reg that original administrators could be removed, adding that this had benefits for businesses because they could delete people who had left the company.

Graham Cluley, senior research consultant at Sophos Security, said this presented serious risks for businesses using Pages.
