Someone hijacked my old fake Facebook account and used it for a Meta ads business. Should I be worried?

An old fake Facebook account, registered with the user's real email but a fake name, was hijacked by someone who added their own email and used the account to create a business page and run Meta advertising campaigns. The user discovered the breach through email notifications, removed the attacker's information, and deleted the account, with no personal payment methods linked to it.
