My Facebook account was hacked

On Monday, May 4th, my Facebook account was hacked. The hacker logged in and sent a message to everyone, driving them to a drugs Web site. If you were one of the recipients please disregard the message and accept my sincere apology for the inconvenience.

What happened

I remember receiving a message from a trusted friend, with a link to what looked like a Facebook page. It turns out that it wasn’t a Facebook page and in fact, was someone phishing for user names and passwords.

Problem solved.

    I didn’t get it, and now feel left out

    scary - but goes to prove just how simple it is for folks to get sucked in if you’re not really careful
