Small business owners say when they got locked out of their Facebook accounts, they couldn't get answers from the social media giant.

Barnes said Facebook didn't help, so he did something security experts do not advise: he paid a ransom to the hackers, a hefty price on top of the cost the hack had on his reputation.
