Strange situation. Am I hacked?
Posted by on January 7, 2026 at 6:52 pmOn December 10, a photo was uploaded as a story on my Facebook account, which I did not upload. The photo showed three of my colleagues who were at a seminar abroad. The content of the photo was from his participation in the seminar and it is impossible that another person had it in his possession. However, I did not have it. This surprised me so I spoke to the electronic crime prosecution who guided me to go into the settings and find which phone devices are connected to my Facebook account. There I found a phone number of a colleague of mine. One of the three who was at the seminar. This colleague is an Administrator like me on the page that our work has and on the Instagram page. When I asked her how it was possible that she uploaded a photo to my personal account on fb, she implied that my account is connected to the page on Instagram and logically the meta has some glitch. So while she tried to upload to the Foundation's page (as an admin), the photo was also uploaded to my personal account on facebook, without her knowledge. I note that the photo was uploaded only to my personal account and not even to the page where we are admins. On January 7th, this happened for the second time and something similar has not happened again in the meantime and before December 10th, even though this colleague has uploaded many stories to our work page. What is your technical opinion? Can her excuse that the reason the photo was accidentally uploaded to my personal account be due to a meta glitch and not that she herself has access to my account stand? Is there seriously any technical scenario indicating that she doesn't have access to my personal account?

Sounds like your personal Facebook account is connected to your professional Instagram account. Go into the Instagram settings for your professional account and remove your personal Facebook account. Hope this makes sense
