A FEW OF MY ACCOUNTS HAVE BEEN HACKED TODAY INCLUDING MY FACEBOOK BUSINESS PAGE.
I have already lost one TikTok and two Instagram accounts in the last six months which I gave up trying to get back and do you have new ones but this is more serious and this is not about me losing access to my account. This is about warning you to protect yourself CEO full foul to what I have been experiencing the last two years as my details have been leaked onto the darknet. I’ve been provided official report and so much data is held about me is incredibly easy for them to hack me, although I do defend myself against this and my son helped me ongoingly I work defensively every day but this is not uncommon for business, but it can also ruin your business as it almost did mine. Ella has lost me thousands hundreds of thousands in revenue due to my failure to to be able to communicate with potential customers like being locked out of around 10 different email account parcel being redirected I don’t need to go on over the past two years.
The current situation is;. I’m sharing this because it’s critical to raise awareness of what has happened to me and others today, my Facebook, Dropbox, and Notes were compromised. Unauthorized individuals accessed these platforms, taking private content from my Dropbox and publishing it on my Facebook business page.
This is not an isolated incident—similar breaches are happening to many people, especially small business owners businesses owners around 60% of businesses experience business espionage and women in the aesthetics industry. Just this past week, I’ve spoken to several women who’ve lost access to their Facebook, Instagram, or WhatsApp accounts—along with years of hard work, followers, and business data—within hours. Many never recovered them.
To be absolutely clear:
• I have NOT posted anything on Facebook today. Any posts that appeared are not from me and should be ignored.
• If you receive a message from me, particularly about training videos or other offers, do NOT assume it’s legitimate. I would never sell training materials privately or contact anyone outside my trusted communities for sales.
• Today, I also received an alert from O2, reporting an attempt to access my account, further emphasizing the coordinated nature of these attacks.
Why This Matters and What You Need to Know
This isn’t just hacking—it’s a deliberate and escalating trend that’s deeply impacting individuals and businesses. It’s a form of cyberstalking, business espionage, and even identity theft. These actions are devastating:
• Years of effort to build businesses and communities are wiped out.
• Personal and sensitive data is exposed or used maliciously.
• Rebuilding trust and networks takes enormous time, emotional energy, and money.
I urge you to take immediate steps to protect yourself:
1. Switch to secure platforms:
• I will be closing all my WhatsApp groups permanently. WhatsApp is increasingly exploited for hacking and data breaches. If you wish to remain in my communities, you MUST move to Signal—a secure, nonprofit platform designed to protect user privacy. Signal ensures your phone number is not public and significantly reduces the risk of hijacking.
• Download Signal here: https://signal.org/download.
2. Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Protect your accounts by enabling 2FA wherever possible. This adds an extra layer of security to your login process.
3. Stay vigilant: Never click suspicious links or respond to messages that seem unusual, even if they appear to be from someone you know.

What Happens Next
I am taking the following steps immediately:
• Permanently closing all 10 of my WhatsApp groups. This will take time as there are thousands of members, but it is necessary to protect everyone.
• Switching to Signal for all group communication and sharing.
• Securing my accounts further and obtaining a new phone number, which will remain private under Signal’s policies.
This situation is very real and happening to people every day. I’ve been through it myself, and I know how devastating it is. I had to fight to recover my accounts, and many others are not as fortunate. We must act to protect ourselves and our businesses.
