As I logged into Facebook tonight I had a message to say my account had been "accessed" by someone in New York and I was to change my password.
I was shocked as nothing like this has happened to me before, though I know it goes on.
This, apparently, happened last week, but I'm not on the internet much now. I only found out tonight when I came to log on and a warning flashed up.
Facebook didn't actually send me an email to let me know.
I just wanted to warn others to be careful of how much personal info is displayed on the site. Fortunately I dont have a lot of details on there.
Maybe the hacker was after bank details or my list of contact email addresses so he/she could deposit viruses.
I have since received an email from an American company who I don't know, which I've deleted in case it's a virus.
And I've also heard that it's happened to a few other people as well.....so be careful...
