You might have heard about a friend’s Facebook account having been hacked; however, it could never happen to you.Wrong! It just happened to me.Recently, a friend asked me on Facebook if I had sent them a friend request. Why would I do that to someone who is already a friend? The answer is simple. I didn’t. I was hacked.I immediately did several things. First, I changed my password. Then I posted the following statement on my Facebook page.“If you have received a ‘friend’ request from me DO NOT click on it. I have been hacked but have taken care of it by doing several things. One is immediately changing my password.”I then posted a screenshot of my account where someone in Reston, Virginia, using a Mac (like I do) but on the Safari browser (I use Chrome) on Dece. 24 at 4:06 p.m. had logged onto my account.Everyone needs to periodically check their Facebook account to see if someone else has had access.To do that, go to theupside-down triangle at the upper right near your name. That will take you to Settings & Privacy.Click on Settings. » Read More
