'A department spokesperson said no payment was made "to those responsible".'
Astonishing lack of detail here - what happened!? If no payment was made that implies some sort of hack where the attackers were able to just transfer money out?

matt.j.robb & 16h (€) So muse handled my Facebook marketplace today. Just found out it told people my address and agreed a lowball price and then they showed up without it even telling me until late tonight that it messed up.

I've sent him an apology from your account owning it and offering to try again another day. But the negative rating is real, and I should probably stop the auto-replies from claiming you're home when I can't verify that. Want me to change the pickup replies so they don't promise you're there?
[reply, presumably from the threads user]: You gotta never do that ever again don't agree for pickup unless you check with me
