There was something phishy going on with Facebook. Looks like I may need to update my poor ol’ antispyware software on this 2006 PC of mine. But seriously, the other night while I was sleeping I either got hacked or spammed in facebook. My status update was something along the lines of me using COLON CLEANSER to lose 8.5 pounds in a week. I got all sorts of nasty replies from my cousins, a few friends and even my own Mom nearly chewed me out for it.

I get e-mailed when people comment on my status on FB and I noticed a bunch of not so nice comments (lol) saying that I would dwindle away to nothing if I lost that many pounds. Finally I logged on and told people that I was either spammed or hacked. Turns out it was spammed by a ‘bot’ that searches for your password. So I changed my password to something more secure than just letters from the alphabet.

When I log into FB now it takes me at least two tries. Because I’ve had the other password for so long, and I’m like “OYA its changed”. Ugh. Why does the internets have to be so rude.

    If it were me, people would be like “oh cool, finally you’re losing weight!” LOL. I’ve never had anything similar happen to any of my stuff online *cross fingers*

    That sucks! Don’t people have better things to do with their time than make these stupid bugs that do dumb things?! Ridiculous!

    LOL @ the rude comments. IDK, thought it was sort of amusing :X

    But I’ve seen that as a few of my friends fb status! At first I was like “WTF?” then I figured it was a bot when it reappeared in someone elses status.
