 Facebook account hacked - sorry - oilrag
Regarding the Facebook group that some of us experimented with last Christmas.

It`s been hacked into today - and as I foolishly used my wife`s own country nickname, I can guess what`s happened.

So this is an apology if anyone has had a contact from my account in the last 24hrs or so. I`m guessing it was just a nosy probe into my affairs though from the Orient. And I know the two main suspects only too well........

All the best,

Mike

Mine too. This must be some sort of hoax. I've been to Bulgaria and people don't move that fast there!

Two days ago I sold an E61, that I had `jail broken` myself using Nemesis Suite - then re flashed the firmware to series 500, just prior to sale. The backup was on the removed memory card (also a 5230 - but that never used on Facebook)

The E61 was clean as a whistle though Bobby.

Just checked HJ to see if you had posted there and had any replies - you seem to be keeping the General Discussion going all by yourself!!

Yep. Password changed and hopefully now sorted. But good security by facebook considering they now have 500 million accounts to police!!

>> the Facebook group that some of us experimented with last Christmas

Not this one then: www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=323915077390

I set it up when C4P began and so far it's got a total of 7 members!

I do check my Fb account a lot and I've not had any hijacking or any other issues today.

A different one, Dave.

I`ve deactivated my FB account now - using a better password.

Did anyone with a `quality` password get their account hacked? I`m afraid i`ve not taken security too seriously with the `amusement` side of the web.
