Kabarak University's Facebook Page was restored after the university recovered the page from a South American hacker who'd posted nudes on the page.

The page had been hacked by a South American teenager who demanded to be paid $500 to return it to the university. It is unclear whether the university paid him but it seems more likely that Facebook through Meta intervened and restored the page to its rightful owners.

The hacker, who is likely to be a high school student in an IT-based school in Jakarta, Indonesia had somehow managed to infiltrate the highly-public page.
