So, it's a matter of phishing to get the accounts. Is prevention simply a matter of rotating passwords periodically? Once hacked what can a person do to regain control of their account? .-= Keith Wilcox´s last blog ..Chris Larrabee =-.

Just goes to prove that relationships are made in person and that convenience of being on-line isn't what is always appears. Don't take Facebook or any profile for granted. .-= Dennis Yu´s last blog ..Check your landing pages for this =-.

It’s really sad how many people out there will do whatever it takes to make a quick buck, even if it means preying on innocent, naive people. Hopefully everyone will do their due diligence (just as Dennis did) when put in a similar situation, and not fall for these evil Hackers’ tricks.

I still can’t believe they did that. Instead of helping the situation with a
honest, genuine reply, they made things worse by acting shady and dishonest. It will be interesting to see how their reputation is affected in the space if they continue to do that.

Yes you never know with who is who contacting you. I had someone I suspect to be just a fake person contact me on my blog yesterday but a whois look up found them out. .-= Murray´s last blog ..Social Media Disaster, Trust and Winning Trust Back =-.

This is really creepy. I heard that Facebook accounts can be hacked, but to use them in such a way? Unfortunately this has the potential of tricking many naive internet users. Also, some users accept a lot of friends they don’t know (we all have a couple of friends we don’t really know, no? but some have thousands), which raises the danger since the ‘fraudster’ can potentially be the person whom you’ve really befriended – no need for hacking at all in this case.
