It seems someone managed to log into his Facebook, wrote on many of his frens’ walls and did facebook things to his frens.
He saw all kinds of actions in his mini-feed that he hadn’t done. He even got an SMS from fren who asked him about a Wall post.
Its very disturbing to know that something like this can happen. So many questions are popping up in my head now:
- who is this person?
- how did he/she get bryan’s password?
- can he/she do it for just facebook or any site?
- what would be the person’s motive for hijacking someone’s facebook?
!!???
I suggested he change his password to something more difficult. If this person still insisted on hijacking his account to spam people, I told my brother, he should lodge a report with Facebook and maybe delete / recreate his account.
After telling him that, I went and changed my password. I guess we really need to take security on the internet a little more seriously since we spend so much of our time here.
I used to roll my eyes when I heard about company security policies that made you change your password every month. Now i’m thinking maybe we do need to be a little more paranoid about passwords and things online.
