Statement: Facebook Fanpage Recovered

2025-01-15

We are delighted to announce that we have regained full control of the official Rawa Blues Festival fanpage on Facebook! You can once again follow the latest updates about the Festival, the upcoming 43rd edition, and a variety of interesting facts about blues music in its broadest scope.

The recovery of our fanpage was made possible thanks to the invaluable help of Piotr Kukowski, the owner of FindWay, a company specializing in recovering stolen Facebook pages. We are immensely grateful for his dedication and professionalism. During the incident analysis, we determined that the hackers originated from countries in the Far East. After taking over our fanpage, they published stolen content (copied without the authors’ consent) from other Polish-language pages. They also used our business account to run unauthorized advertisements.

We sincerely thank all our fans and supporters for their patience, understanding, and encouragement during this challenging time. We also want to emphasize once more how important it is to use advanced account security measures, such as two-factor authentication, and to remain vigilant and critical of the content encountered online. We will do everything possible on our end to prevent such incidents from happening in the future.

We invite you to follow our fanpage and also visit the official RawaBlues.com website, where you can find all the latest news and details about band recruitment for this year’s edition of the Festival!
