facebook getting hacked?????

[kingstonkid]

In the past 3 weeks I have had Facebook mail tell me that my account may have been hacked.

 

Has anyone else run into this?

 

I am not a big user but it is my main method of keeping up with family and friends back in Canada.

Change your password, if you re really scared.

Fake email. Facebook does not email you about these things.

I closed FB 10+ years ago and receive PINs from FB to reset password. So I guess account is still getting reactivated by these attempts...

You can do the usual spam checks:

 

1) check the sender address (not the display name which might be "Facebook....") by using "detail view" or whatever it is called by your mail provider. On the PC it might be enough to move the mouse over the sender field.

2) does the mail address you with personal details or is it just a "Dear Facebook user..." type?

3) does the mail contain links and where do they point to?
