Call That Girl’s Guide to being smart on Facebook

I am not a Facebook Guru, but I do know a few things about Facebook and what’s been going on for some time.Facebook hacks and viruses!

PASSWORDS:

Do you remember a few messages ago I reminded you to change your password on Facebook and make it different from your email account? I recommend that again! Please change it NOW!

I would also go and change your Facebook account password to something unique too. Why?
.Because I have seen four hacks this week alone! All different ones too. One client of mine called in despair, she was doing something in Facebook, clicked on a link and the next thing you know, her Internet Explorer lost connectivity. 2 other friends of mine apologized to their friends because their friends got messages from them that was NOT from them. I just received a message from an old high school pal and I know she didn’t write thisthis is the actual message.

VIRUS!

Facebook and MySpace has a virus called Koobface. The virus hijacks your accountFrom an Kapersky labs with short edit:

This worm creates a range of commentaries to friends’ accounts. Net-Worm.Win32.Koobface.b, which targets Facebook users, creates spam messages and sends them to the infected users’ friends via the Facebook site. The messages and comments include texts such as Paris Hilton Tosses Dwarf On The Street; Examiners Caught Downloading Grades From The Internet; Hello; You must see it!!! LOL. My friend catched you on hidden cam; Is it really celebrity? Funny Moments and many others.

PROTECT YOURSELF:

*If you see a strange message from a friend, delete it.

*Then google it to see what it was

*Inform your friends about the message, they may not know about it

*Report it to facebook security http://www.facebook.com/security
