Hi Ikua, Thanks for the warning. Sometimes the hack can be as simple as viewing saved passwords on the browser. This applies to Chrome and Mozilla Firefox plus a few others. So to prevent this hacking while using public or personal computers, please memorize the password instead of saving it on the browser.

I have just had a friend of mine lose her FB account after a hacker got her credentials and started scamming her friends to send him/her money. Now I log into FB and I see my cousin's account with a similar message on his wall. Seems like there is trend here. Please warn all and sundry against just sending money to anyone just because they saw a message from a friend on FB. Twitter may help.
