Deleted my account last month and it was set to delete in 4 days. But I got an 8 digit password reset code this morning.
I've seen large amounts of users here in the past say they received similar 8 digit codes in mass and that it may be a system error. The email was definitely from Facebook and I can see it in my accounts email history in the app.
The email attached to the account has not been in a data breach and is basically a burner.
I logged in to add 2 step and change the email just in case and I'm now being made to wait to make changes.
What are the odds this is an error again and not an extremely malicious attempt to gain access?
