A shock for Christa Rigozzi: When the presenter picked up her cell phone on Thursday evening, she found that her verified Instagram account with over 50,000 followers was suddenly gone. “A horror scenario,” says the 38-year-old. She tried several times to reset her password and to gain access to her account via direct login links – all in vain. Your profile will still not be found online.
The former Miss Switzerland has posted over 3,150 posts on her profile in the past ten years. From family pictures, snapshots of their many trips to advertising posts from customers, everything could be found on it. In addition, she entertained her fans on a daily basis with experiences and private insights into her story. “I just didn’t know what to do anymore,” says Rigozzi. In the end, she turned to an IT specialist with great hope.
“Welcome Back, Christa”
A full three days passed before the former Miss Switzerland received a response: “On Monday morning I received the message: ‘Hey Christa, welcome back on Instagram.” “Tears flowed from joy. “I didn’t expect it anymore and didn’t know that it would be possible to fix anything at all.” Visibly relieved, she shares the whole story with her followers on her account.
At the same time, she is making an appeal to her fans: They should change their passwords regularly – preferably monthly – use two-step authentication and link different accounts to one another. This is the only way to get the profile back. Christa does not know what caused the deletion. You have always tried to be safe in the social networks.
