MY Fb account isn't working!

Jenn started this discussion · 5/18/2010

I don't know what the problem is, but apparently, it's down for "site maintenance." Has this happened to any of you before?? I have never had this happen and I am worried. Last week, i had gotten a notification that someone had tried to access my account from the Netherlands.What if somoene has hacked into my account? 🙁 I have too many pics on there that I no longer have on my computer and don't want to lose, I'm scared! 😕 😢

Tbh, it's probably just what it says - down for site maintenance. Mine has been down before, but not for long. If someone had hacked your account it wouldn't say that message. The hacker would just have changed your password and then would be spamming viagra ads to all your friends and trying to get them to click on links and trick them into giving THEIR passwords, so he can continue the process of spamming more people.

However, speaking on fb hacking - don't clikc the video called "this is the sexiest video ever" or something like that, that's going around facebook. It sends you to a page that tries to ask you to download a program, or something. If you accept the download, it installs a virus on your computer, and then posts the same video to your friend's facebook pages, in the hope that they do the same. I have seen it circulating, and it made the papers today. So watch out 😈
