Inna Novikova, the editor-in-chief of Pravda.Ru, had her account hacked on February 4th at night. An hour later, according to Facebook regulations, Inna indicated three friends, who could confirm her identity. Afterwards, she sent the adequate form to retrieve access to her Facebook account. The three friends - German Klimenko, Sergey Demensky and Marina Yudenich - sent the required confirmation codes immediately.

Afterwards, Facebook asked to provide a photo of the ID. The photo was sent too. In accordance with Facebook policies in such cases, accounts can be restored within 24 hours.

To be on the safe side, two well-known Facebook Russia bloggers called Ekaterina Skorobogatova to verify the information personally.

As a result, Inna Novikova's account was blocked. I'd like to draw your attention to the fact that it happened on the third day, after Inna was through with all necessary account restoration formalities.
