Facebook accounts hacked
Posting this here BC I thought a large number of folks will see it.
I've gotten a number of messages from friends on FB that are really hacked messages. The post from the friends have different messages. The link attached to each message was a trojan horse virus. Be very careful when opening links on FB.
Has this happened to anyone else?

I've had a trojan in recent days but I think it was attached to Windows Live Messenger. 
As it turns out there was a report on the nightly news last week saying that thousands of hotmail accounts had been hacked into so I changed both my hotmail and my facebook log in then. Maybe that saved me?
Anyway, thanks for the heads up HIF, I'll keep an eye out anyway.  |

Things like hacking and other negative, threatening crap are the reasons why I don't have a Facebook account. And you can also add MySpace to the equation, too. It's just too dangerous. I'd rather stay private.

This has been happening for over a year now, one of the more popular ones tells you you need to download a video codec to see a video that's linked in a message, same with myspace.
