HX1 Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Two years ago I applied for a Facialbook account.. It took them a year ( that's 12 months ) to send me a verification. I responded ( and this was during the big problems that were in the News about Facebook getting hacked when they responded ) .. with a letter about the incompetence.. and I logged in and deactivated my account.. removed all of the information from being seen that I could... I did not want to even mess with it at that point.. and especially with all of the negative mess going on ... did I want to worry about it or do a repeat of MySpaz.. ( affectionate little name I have for them these days.. and all )Today, I received a notification around 8AM that my account had been reactivated... Which I did not do... So I had to go in and do it again, and change the password on the account..So I thought I would let everyone know that someone or something is going on at Facebook and to keep a look out for anything odd.. ( for those of you with an account, and who have had issues in the past ). Don't really know if this would be a news item.. but thought a heads up would be in order..

silencer Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 I don't have useless fb account. Am I strange? :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i-con Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Nope, you are not strange. Facebook is really boring, i don't get how people get to stare at it for hours, waiting for pointless updates on other people's life. I got better things to do then waste it on this thing.

sanjoa Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 I have had a problem with Facebook months ago. My account was hacked and FB team closed it temporarily. It was a week where my ISP went off service. I had changed the password after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator DKT27 Posted February 14, 2010 Administrator Share Posted February 14, 2010 LOL. I read about FB problems (including security problems) everyday. I would advice everyone to stay far from it. As per Comodo, it doesn't even have a valid certificate if I'm not wrong. ;)@heath28m: Hoping to see that your FB's troubling journey end soon. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HX1 Posted February 14, 2010 Author Share Posted February 14, 2010 Oh its over for me.. already LOL.. Odd how even in not having one it comes back to create an issue.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HX1 Posted April 9, 2010 Author Share Posted April 9, 2010 Okay yeah double post BUT yet again to day I get a very UNOFFICIAL looking email to an email account I have not ever used in conjunction with Facebook..AND as I noted above I don't use the account and deactivated it..Exact email body:Dear user of facebook,Because of the measures taken to provide safety to our clients, your password has been changed.You can find your new password in attached document.Thanks,Your Facebook.This came with an attachment inside a ZIP file, which contained an EXE file with the same name.. that has a Word icon for its identifier..Nothing would have thrown me off more .. to have an attachment sent to me.. but more likely the format of the email itself.. Not saying its definitely anything, nothing was picked up with like the one thing I scanned it with.. BUT I find it odd.. after all of this.. that in fact I still get this email..I never opened the file.. but I did shred it ..Anyone else ever have this happen?

Night Owl Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Yes, I received a very similar e-mail yesterday. It wasn't even addressed to me, but rather someone with the same first name, close to alphabetical last name, and the same domain name. I deleted it with the rest of my spam. :battle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sl@pSh0ck™ Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 I have read somewhere about this "email" from facebook and the exe attachment ... they say nod32 doesn't detect this as malware, have you checked heath?EDIT:here is the ThreatExpert report about that attachment.

Night Owl Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Almost all of my spam is caught by my Yahoo! and Gmail Web-based e-mail accounts. Almost nothing makes it to Microsoft Outlook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HX1 Posted April 9, 2010 Author Share Posted April 9, 2010 Well this one is blacklisted now.. but no ESET didn't get it BUT common sense and experience said..'I smell BS'.. I would be willing to bet that when it went active I would have been cleaning..and doing an immediate disconnect as always..Someone or something has gotten my email addresses.. two of them.. and they are the only two that get used.. for mostly sites like anything from nsane to general stuff.. nothing important.. but I have been getting straight porn emails... Hookup emails, random invitations to photo albums.. everyone I report as a phishing scam for Windows Live and add to my servers Blacklist reporting on the other.. This one is the first one on the main account.. I think it will and should be quite easy to get rid of the problem..These things are always more obvious than some think.I never mess with anything that I have not solicited upon myself.. which covers 99% of the BS that comes along..EDIT: I haven't checked my Gmail account in forever..hopefully auto-delete spam is working LOL.. I know I have to go empty it again.. :(I haven't actually set up Outlook sine I had 2007 installed.. but I never had an issue back then.. this has been recent.. Like around the beginning of the year.. maybe since the end of last year.. Main issue being that I don't think ESS will integrate into Outlook 2010.. ( sounds like I have been lazy but that is most likely the farthest thing from it.. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KotaXor Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Yeah, you need to set up the policy setting properly. Seem there is no privacy on its default mode. Everyone in the net can see your photos if you don't setting your policy correctly. WTF, the default should prevent other ppl from viewing your photos and not the other way round.
