 Topic: Facebook Problem - sorry!!
Posted: 07 October 2009 at 8:38pm |
|
I have just deactivated my Facebook account because it seems like it has been hacked and it keeps sending out posts about weight loss programs. For anyone who was a friend on Facebook, I am so so sorry!! Hopefully by deactivating the account, it will have stopped it. I have no idea how it happened as I have a private profile!!!

Aww that sucks! Are you sure it's not applications you have added, as opposed to people?

I went to the Facebook help page and it said to run your antivirus software to check there is no spyware/malware, then change your password and if that doens't work, there's a link to contact them and they will investigate.

Changing the password is the main thing to do.

Most of these are coming through dodgy apps. A few of the apps stopped working this weekend just been and the general suspicion was that FB had been hacked (again) through allowing dodgy apps.
Sucks that it happened to you. I don't think you have to add the apps either - just if someone on your friend list has it.

Yeah I'm thinking it must have been one of my friends...some of them use some really random apps!!! I just re-activated it and it seems to have stopped it...hopefully it doesn't do it again overnight while I'm asleep

uummm I have never ever added an app, I ignore and delete every single one, so that can't possibly be the way they hack onto mine! I think its got something to do with your password, I think I just need to change it every few days!
Mine does it while I am asleep too 
minik8e - I just delete the status off my profile and carry on as normal.
kellie - yep colon cleanser....as if anyone would admit that to the world on FB!!!!

Yes but do any of your friends add apps? Because from what I've heard they can access through your friends list.

Jess actually alerted me to something that made sense....if you get a box pop up saying that you have been disconnected/session timed out and asks you to log back in again...ignore it!!! Because that is one way of them getting your details. It would actually make sense for me, because I had that a couple of days ago...
