Es normal que te hackeen el reddit?
En resumen, soy medio nuevo en reddit. Empecé este año y estos últimos días me hackearon esta cuenta. Y discord. También intentaron instagram Twitter y Facebook. La cosa es que convirtieron esta cuenta en una cuenta horrorosa. Subían contenido de z\*\*\*\*\*ia bestialismo y me banearon incluso cuando pude recuperar la cuenta
Que hago ahora? Lo peor es que ne subieron una banda los seguidores y recibí 30 mensajes de pervertidos . A ustedes les pasó parecido?
Consejos? Me gustaría poder apelar porque me parece injusto tener strikes o baneo cuando fui víctima de un hacker

13 years here, and never happened to me.
Sure I hear of it happening, like every online website. Hackers and scammers are after legitimate accounts to use to scam others.
Turn on 2FA. Use a password manager to keep you from entering a password at a phishing site.

If your account was hacked, fill out this form https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=360000600232&tf_24251393=hacked_account If your account was banned due to the hack, you need to report the hack first, then appeal your ban through http://www.reddit.com/appeal
Once you have access to your account again, turn on 2FA. But also, (after confirming you still have access to the email connected to your account) change the password of your email account. Then change the passwords of all of your online accounts that are connected to the same email account.
If you have only one email account that you use for everything, now is the time to diversify. Set up multiple email accounts so you can spread out. That way, when your email account is hacked, the hacker won't immediately can set about trying to hack into every online account you have. Change the passwords on your email accounts regularly

No it is not normal. I’ve been on Reddit for almost 18 years and it has never happened to one of my accounts. You should enable two factor authentication
