I need an experienced specialist who can recover hacked Facebook and Instagram accounts and knows how to deal with Meta support until the account is restored.
This is not a basic appeal and not a VA task. I need someone who has actually solved similar cases.
What happened
-My Facebook account was disabled one year ago
-It was linked to an Instagram account that is NOT mine
-My real Instagram account was hacked, random foreign (Chinese) content was posted, and the account was later deleted
As a result:
-My Facebook is disabled
-My Instagram is gone
-I cannot appeal through either account
-This was a coordinated hack, not a policy violation on my side.
What I need from you
-Take full ownership of the case
-Handle communication with Meta / Facebook / Instagram
-Submit appeals and escalations through the right channels
Work until:
-My Facebook account is restored
-Incorrect account links are removed
-Keep me updated with clear next steps
Who I’m looking for
-Someone who has successfully recovered hacked FB/IG accounts
-You understand how Meta actually works (not theory)
-You don’t use bots or copy-paste templates
-You know when and how to escalate
To apply, tell me:
-Similar cases you’ve successfully handled
-How you would approach this specific situation
-Estimated timeline and price
I’m serious about resolving this and ready to work with the right person.

The man knows his stuff and what he is doing. It’s true you have free access to AI tools, but trust me when you don’t speak the language of the technology you’ll end with pretty basic and boring results. Hiring someone like Faiz will consider your needs and give you exactly what you want. I don’t know what prompts or magic tricks he’s using 😂 but it’s a fact I’m really satisfied with his work and that’s all I care about. He is asking me all the time if I am happy with the result, edited himself the photos and asked me all the time if I need modifications, he’s occupied with work and still did all the work super fast. Get a professional, dont waste your time trying yourself because it’s cheaper. Your time costs more money, let Faiz help you. :) I recommend with two hands

Facebook Profile Security Penetration Test
Applied

Client Rank
- not enough data

I want to understand exactly how resilient my Facebook account is against a real-world attack, so I need an ethical hacker to attempt a full compromise of the profile and show me where the cracks are. You will be working against an account that already has a strong password and two-factor authentication enabled, so I am interested in the methods you use, any social-engineering vectors you consider, and what Facebook-side or browser-side weaknesses you can realistically exploit.
Scope
• Attempt to obtain complete, credential-level access to the profile—messages, posts, settings, anything a legitimate owner can reach.
• Keep a detailed log of every step, tool, script, or exploit used (Burp Suite, Kali Linux, custom phishing pages, token hijacking, etc.).
• Stay strictly within legal and ethical boundaries; all activity must target only the account I designate and only for the duration we agree on.
Deliverables (acceptance criteria)
1. Written report explaining each vulnerability discovered, how it was exploited, and the exact privilege level achieved.
2. Proof-of-access screenshots or session tokens that demonstrate full control without permanently altering or deleting data.
3. Practical, actionable recommendations to harden the account—configuration changes, password policies, 2FA improvements, and any Facebook security settings I should enable.
If you can penetrate the current defenses or even just identify high-risk vectors, that’s a success. If you cannot, I still need the methodology report so I know which angles were already tested.

* I cannot log in.
Requirements:
* Proven experience recovering hacked Instagram accounts
* Strong knowledge of Instagram’s official recovery processes
* Only legal and ethical recovery methods
* Clear communication and step‑by‑step guidance
* Ability to start immediately
What I Can Provide:
* Account details (will discuss privately)
Important Notes:
❌ No hacking, phishing, or illegal methods
❌ No fake guarantees
✅ Only genuine, ethical recovery assistance
Budget:
To be discussed
How to Apply:
* Please include the following in your application:
* Your experience with Instagram account recovery
* Approximate success rate
* Estimated time required
I need a reliable network engineer for a single-day visit to one of our client’s offices. The core task is to rack, stack, power up, patch, and hand over console access for a set of new routers and switches. I will supply clear network diagrams in advance, so you can walk in and execute without design work.
While on site, I’ll also rely on you for light end-user support—mainly basic troubleshooting on a few desktops and laptops if anything crops up during the change window.
Success for me looks like:
• All routers and switches physically installed, cabled exactly as shown in the diagrams, and visible to our remote team via console.
• Any minor desktop or laptop hiccups resolved before you leave.
• A brief completion note outlining what was done and confirming everything powers up cleanly.
Bring the usual toolkit (console cable, small hand tools, cable ties) and be comfortable working alongside our remote NOC team over a call. If this sounds straightforward to you, let’s lock in the date and details right away.
Suspicious activity on our corporate network and mail servers has raised legitimate concern, so I am commissioning a thorough penetration test that targets both environments in one cohesive engagement. The assignment spans perimeter and internal network layers as well as our cloud-hosted email stack (user accounts, mail gateways, SPF/DMARC, phishing resilience and related configurations).
Methodology
I am open to whichever blend of black-, grey- or white-box techniques you feel will surface the most critical weaknesses; the key requirement is a realistic, attacker-style approach that remains fully documented and legally authorised. No external compliance framework is imposed, but basing the exercise on OWASP, PTES or similar best practice is welcome.
What I need from you
• Reconnaissance, vulnerability enumeration and active exploitation attempts across network and email assets
• Clear proof-of-concept evidence for every confirmed finding
• A concise executive summary plus a deep-dive technical report that includes CVSS scoring and step-by-step remediation guidance
• A follow-up call to walk me (and possibly senior staff) through the results and quick-win fixes
Logistics & tooling
Testing must be performed under NDA and within agreed maintenance windows to avoid business disruption. Familiarity with staples like Nmap, Nessus, Metasploit, Burp Suite, Wireshark and email-focused toolsets is assumed; feel free to mention any additional specialised utilities you rely on.
When responding, outline your relevant experience handling combined network/email assessments, a rough timeline, and any prerequisites you need from my side so we can schedule promptly.
Hi David, My girlfriend got her Instagram account suspended. I am including the details from her below. Trying to help her get it back. Please let me if and how you can help. She is in Colombia.
Please let me know if you need any addtional info?
Instagram account @la_leonaoficial, which was disabled on January 12, 2026.
The suspension of my Instagram account occurred due to an issue detected on my linked Facebook account (Mila Melendez). Both accounts were disabled on the same day. However, within less than half an hour, I was able to recover my Facebook account by following the instructions provided by the platform. At this time, my Facebook account is active and accessible, although it still shows some restrictions.
Considering that the reason shown on Instagram clearly states that the suspension was due to my Facebook account not complying with the rules—and not due to any violation on Instagram—it would be reasonable that, once Facebook was recovered, my Instagram account should also have been restored, since Instagram itself did not violate any policies.
To better understand the full context, I would like to clarify the following points:
– The issue occurred only on Facebook, not on Instagram.
– My Facebook account is recovered and active; both accounts were disabled on the same day.
– I have always complied with Instagram’s Community Guidelines.
– This situation has never happened to me before with any of my accounts.
– If the accounts had not been linked, this issue would not have affected Instagram, as no Instagram rules were violated.
– The Instagram suspension was not due to actions taken directly on Instagram, but rather to an error originating from Facebook.
The main issue I am currently facing is the appeal process. I have attempted to follow Instagram’s official instructions to request a review; however, when I try to log in, I only see a message stating that the account was suspended due to a Facebook-related issue, along with the option to download my information. There is no option to submit an appeal, no review button, and no form that allows me to present my case through Instagram.
I have already submitted the corresponding appeals through Facebook, including a request to the Oversight Board, an option that appeared after several days and has already been processed.

Alth…The position was advertised as a full-time CTO role but was restructured to part-time during the interview process. Although hired with a mandate to provide strategic leadership, the scope of authority was restricted, and I was not empowered to implement necessary technical and compliance practices.
During a PCI-DSS 4.0 alignment project, several required policy and infrastructure updates were delayed or declined despite documented security gaps. Key decisions were often made without involving the technical lead, resulting in repeated misalignments between compliance requirements and internal actions.
Ultimately, I chose to end the contract due to growing liability concerns and an inability to fulfill my role responsibly under the conditions provided.
This client may be suitable for short-term tactical support, but freelancers in technical leadership or compliance roles should proceed with caution and clarify scope, authority, and responsibilities in advance.

We hired Ahsan for a high-level technical leadership role, expecting expertise, professionalism, and reliability. Unfortunately, he failed on all fronts. His communication during the interview process was inconsistent with his actual engagement on the job—his voice and mannerisms noticeably different, raising serious concerns about authenticity.
Beyond that, he lacked the skills and leadership necessary for the role, failing to meet even basic expectations. He consistently missed scheduled meetings, did not adhere to agreed-upon work hours, and showed no initiative in delivering results. It became clear that his previous good reviews were mostly for low-dollar projects, likely not requiring the level of expertise or responsibility expected in higher-stakes roles.
If you're considering hiring Ahsan for anything beyond the simplest tasks, **think twice.** We had to terminate the contract due to his incompetence and lack of professionalism. Save yourself the headache and look elsewhere.

My WordPress site has been offline for four days after what was probably an agency-run plugin update. It now places an unusual load on our VPS and returns only 500 errors. I have full access to error logs, cPanel and SSH, and can share whatever credentials you need.
Your task is twofold: first, identify the exact fault—whether it is a plugin conflict, theme issue, corrupted core file or something else—and bring the site back online swiftly. Second, document your findings and recommend concrete ways to strengthen performance, stability and security going forward.
Deliverables
• Functional website loading normally on the VPS, with server load back to expected levels.
• A concise report outlining: root cause, steps taken to fix it, performance bottlenecks discovered, and clear, prioritized recommendations for future improvements (plugins, theme hygiene, caching, backups, security hardening, monitoring tools, etc.).
Please indicate how soon you can begin and an estimated turnaround for both the fix and the report.

I need a seasoned IT engineer who can move seamlessly from writing production-grade code to hardening the servers it runs on. On the software side you should be comfortable shipping features in Python, Java, C#, PHP, and JavaScript. On the infrastructure side you will administer and tune both Linux and Windows Server machines, then extend the same discipline to cloud instances on AWS, Azure, or GCP. Solid database know-how and a knack for infrastructure-as-code will let you keep our services highly available while we continue to scale.
Security is woven through everything we do. You will plan and execute vulnerability assessments, configure firewalls, fine-tune SIEM alerts, and guide us toward ISO 27001 alignment. If you already hold certifications such as CEH, CISSP, or CompTIA Security+, all the better—real-world experience defending complex, high-traffic systems matters just as much.
This is a long-term relationship requiring absolute professionalism and confidentiality. When you respond, please share a recent example of a system you secured, the tech stack involved, and the CI/CD or monitoring tools you relied on. I’m looking for someone who can become a trusted partner for our Dubai-based enterprise, so make your case and let’s talk.

My website jumps straight to a spoof domain the moment anyone visits, and it does this on every browser and device. I need someone to move quickly, trace the exact source of the redirect—whether it’s hidden in the code, .htaccess rules, infected plugins, or a DNS hijack—then eliminate it and lock the door behind you.
What I expect from you:
• Pin-point the root cause of the immediate-load redirect.
• Clean, repair, or roll back the affected files or DNS settings so the genuine site loads normally again.
• Patch any security holes and harden the server/hosting setup to prevent a repeat attack.
• Hand me a concise report outlining what was found, what you changed, and any follow-up recommendations.
I can give full cPanel/SSH access as soon as we start, and I’m happy to jump on a quick call if you need extra context. Once the fix is live I’ll run tests on multiple devices and browsers; payment is released when the real site loads consistently with no redirects.

My computer has picked up a virus or some other form of malware and I need it gone—safely and completely. I haven’t attempted any fixes yet, so you’ll be starting from a clean slate.
Your task is to:
• Diagnose the exact threat, locate the infected files or registry entries, and eliminate every trace without touching my personal data.
• Restore normal system performance and verify, with reputable tools, that the machine is clean.
• Patch obvious vulnerabilities, apply any critical updates, and set up real-time protection so this doesn’t happen again.
I’m happy to grant remote access through TeamViewer, AnyDesk, or a comparable tool; we can agree on whichever you prefer. I’ll sign off once the system boots cleanly, no scanners flag issues, and everything runs as expected. If you’ve spent time deep-cleaning stubborn infections before and can explain what you’re doing in plain English while you work, let’s connect and get my PC back to normal.

I’m ready to bring in an experienced ethical hacker to run a thorough security audit of our production web application. You’ll have gray-box access—enough credentials and limited architecture notes to work efficiently, but not full source code.
Key focus areas are clear:
• Robustness of user authentication and authorization flows
• Protection of data at rest and in transit
• Security posture of every third-party integration we rely on
I expect a blend of manual and automated testing (Kali Linux, Burp Suite, OWASP ZAP or similar) aimed at uncovering the full OWASP Top 10 spectrum. A secure-configuration review of servers, middleware, and relevant cloud services should run in parallel. Where you discover a critical issue, please include an exploit proof-of-concept so we can replicate and validate the risk internally.
Deliverables, all compiled in a single engagement report:
1. Executive summary highlighting overall risk level
2. Detailed vulnerability list with CVSS scores, affected endpoints, and reproducible steps
3. Screenshots or PoCs for confirmed high-impact findings
4. Concrete, prioritized remediation recommendations
The audit is strictly for lawful, ethical purposes and will be covered by a mutual NDA. I’m available to answer environment questions and schedule test windows to avoid production disruption. Let’s lock down this app.

I need a greybox penetration test on our staging web shop. The assessment must cover three critical user flows—payment gateway, registration/login, and the product catalog—so I can pinpoint real-world vulnerabilities before we push to production.
The single overriding goal is to identify weaknesses, with special attention to anything that could lead to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), but all other findings are welcome. I will provide a standard customer account, limited backend documentation, and either a VPN tunnel or temporary public URL to the test environment, depending on your preference.
Please include in your delivery:
• An executive summary that’s readable for non-technical leadership.
• A detailed technical report for developers, mapping each issue to the OWASP Top 10, complete with proof-of-concept steps, screenshots, and raw request/response data.
• CVSS-based risk ratings and clear remediation guidance.
• One complimentary retest to verify fixes.
Automated scanners (Burp Suite Pro, OWASP ZAP, sqlmap, etc.) are fine.

My public-facing website needs a thorough, ethical security evaluation. I want you to think like an attacker, probe every exposed surface, and then document exactly what you find so I can tighten the defences.
Scope
• The target is a single website (front-end, back-end and any APIs it calls).
• I’m open to whichever blend of penetration testing, vulnerability assessment or full audit you feel will give the clearest picture of real-world risk.
Deliverables
1. An executive-level summary highlighting critical, high, medium and low-risk findings.
2. A detailed technical report for each issue: reproduction steps, affected endpoints or code paths, and suggested remediation.
3. A debrief session (video or written Q&A) so I can walk my developers through your findings and next steps.
Acceptance criteria
• No automated-tool dump; findings must be verified manually.
• Tests must respect applicable laws and keep service disruption to an agreed maintenance window.
• All reports delivered in clean, readable English.
If you’ve got recent experience hardening websites and can demonstrate responsible disclosure practices, let’s secure this site.

I have been employing freelancers & agencies on Upwork for over 4 years. SmartData provided the WORST possible customer experience I have had the misfortune to have occur and I would not wish it on my worst enemy. Well, maybe my worst enemy....
Here is why:
1) They agreed to a "2-3 month" project for a fixed fee of $8300.
2) They insisted we work on hourly basis to cover that $8300 - which I assumed would be a real reflection of hours worked.
3) They ran down the fee within 1 month and went over by $1000.
4) Did you know that if a freelancer agrees to a fixed price, but says "enable hourly billing" - this means, that once the payment proceeds, you only have 7 days to request a refund or dispute the scope of work. This locked in their agreed price, meaning they could now walk all over me.
5) Guess how long the project went on? 9 months. That is 6 months more than agreed.
6) Was it finished? No. I have to pay another company $11k to finish the half completed job they performed.
7) The project itself: Developers were changed 3x times. Project managers changed 3x times. The most mismanaged f up of a project you could wish for.
8) They asked me for further payment for a QA to check the quality of their work of some $1500 - 3 months after a deadline and no end in site, and could not have the courtesy to even offer that to make up for their atrocious work.
Bottom line:
AVOID SMART DATA INC LIKE CORONAVIRUS.
Wear a mask, and use plenty of handsanitizer if they bid on your project.
Find a better outsourced team in Belarus or Ukraine. Companies like Smart Data are what gives Indian developers such a bad name. Never again.
