My X account was hacked in early July, and I have gone through the ridiculously stupid process of trying to get it back. Unfortunately, my name and email address were still attached to the account, so all I got were useless bot replies. (Apparently, if they are no longer attached, you can get a person to help you.) I took several extra steps to get my account back, including filing legal complaints in two states. All I got was a verification code which I couldn't use because one has to be logged in to use it, and I was unable to log in because my account was hacked. (It was also sent at 4 a.m. my time, and it expired at 6 a.m.)
I was about to try one more thing, but it appears that the hacker deleted my account. The good news (I use the term loosely) is that--because the account was deleted--I was able to reclaim my handle. If you are on X, I would really appreciate your following @WomenWhoServe again (or for the first time); it's tough to lose all my posts, all my media, all my followers.
