Someone hacked into my Facebook page. No idea how or why, it is not like I put anything on facebook. Nothing personal posted. Just makes me aware just how easy someone can to get into your things.

When sending an e-mail don't forward it, rather copy and paste. That way other people's address's are not shown.

Just beware of information on your computer.

My son's fb got hacked last week. I noticed strange postings on his fb when he was at school, no computer access there for him at that time of day. Made him change his pass word and all is fine.

I don't use public wifi. Only use secured wifi.
I tried to onto facebook this morning, could not login.
Showed someone had tried to enter from another e-mail address. Facebook notified me and they reset things for me.
The physical address Facebook showed was over 500 miles from where I live.

Excellent advice, sewgull!!! Another safety tip for sending email to more than one person, use the BCC...that way no addresses get forwarded accidentally by someone else. Lots of people will forward without removing the incoming list of addresses. :(
