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!
Weirdly, these messages never got as far as asking for money which I would have assumed was the prime reason for hacking my Facebook in the first place.
Another strange thing was the fact that whoever had hacked, hadn't bothered to change my password. I would have thought that was the first thing you would do...?
Looking back on old emails, I receive an email every time someone logs into Facebook from a new location and I now realise I should pay a bit more attention, as there was one back in September labelled "work4" in Brisbane, Qld. I don't work in Brisbane and was definitely not there in September so that should have rung alarm bells.
The simple fact is, my Facebook was setup in the days where my hotmail address was still the one of choice and therefore all these alerts go there. I very rarely log in to that account and therefore never read that email.
I have now linked my Hotmail to my gmail (which I check regularly) so I won't make that mistake again.
