Hacked on Facebook

So, it appears my Facebook has been hacked.

I logged in the other day and noticed a few weird messages from friends asking if I was OK and how could they contact me.

I checked my messages and discovered private messages from 'me' telling friends that I had been mugged and lost my wallet and passport in London in one message and Malaysia in another. I do get around!

When spellcheck is not enough..

I know journalists are busy people, but proofreading requires more than just running spellcheck..

Note to journalists: calling a company a conspiracy could lead to defamation action, particularly when said company has just been shutdown by US authorities.
