Apparently, there is a lot of this stuff going on with Facebook these days. My daughter’s friend just had an absolutely horrific experience with Facebook, as a result of hacking (I promised her I wouldn’t share the details), and it was real, real bad.
It would be really good to know some details, so others don’t fall into the same trap…
there is a similar hack going around twitter. What they do is create a landing page that looks like the twitter sign in. They use a minisite so it looks something like http : twiter.485kdf.com. They then create a tweet that says, “is this you in this pic?” or something like that, when you click the shortened URL, you think you have to reenter your info to be able to see it. If you do, they wait a bit and then go into your account and send the same PM to everyone you are following.
I’m sure these scammers now has thousands and thousands of twitter log-ins stored somewhere.

AVOID leaving any sort of personal information on ANY social media site….that is where the problem inevitably begins. Personal information plus hacking schemes spells huge trouble.
Hey Everyone,
Facebook has my original account back online now and it is secured. Thank you for your support!
