Somebody hacked into my facebook account and left spammy messages to all my friends! Fortunately all of my friends knew it was something i would not do!
I deactivated my account & notified facebook, but now i am paranoid about every other site i belong to!
I don't think i would have entered it into a fake facebook site because i always go to the main page the few times i've gone in...
Have you ever had anyone hack into your account on a site online? what did you do? did it affect other accounts or just one?

Nope, never had that happen, I guess I'd be pretty ticked off too. Maybe they can find out who did it and knock their head against the wall.

I think deleting my account was the only thing to do! Most of the friends I have as contacts at other places, so no biggie deal - but I know I don't want to be spamming them unintentionally or risk it happening again!

you normally don't have to delete your account, just change your password. this happens everywhere even on myspace or even here. somehow you get re-directed to a 'fake' log in page and you put your username and email in there and they hackers have your information. myspace has already have blockers against this and facebook and other networking sites should put something like that in place to prevent things like phishing as well.

Yes, someone hacked into my ICQ account years back. I had a highly desireable ICQ user number and someone tried to buy it from me but I did not want to sell, so that may have been who stole it, but they left the link to my web site on it and I wrote to the ICQ staff about it several times and never got an answer. Needless to say I don't use ICQ anymore. I used to like it a lot, but that was invasive.
I should go see if I got a spammy message from you, eh? I'm glad your friends realized that you would never do such a thing and I hope if it ever happens to me that mine would realize that also!

Yes, I think real friends would know :) Especially if you usually don't send messages of any sorts...
It is sad though that people are like this...do they have nothing better to do? How does being a spammer help you?
I forgot about ICQ, does it still exist? I remember it being popular when i was in high school but then AOL instant messenger took over I think!

I do not have any facebook account. But I cannot help but react on knowing that your account was hacked. This is definitely awful and very much discouraging. I guess there are really people who are doing this maybe for fun or to get some information. I hope that everything will be fine.
