I just seen in the NEWS that there is a Friendster user that was abused by the other Friendster user pretending to be somebody, a friend of the friendster user abused.
The story goes like this.A certain Friendster user hacked an account and start to send message to the friend list of that hacked account.Until it goes to a limit where she is asking some money to the victims as a friendly borrow she is even asking some Cellphone Loads and a Laptop.
The Friendster has been hacked due to the reason that the account e-mail address was shown in the Friendster Profile. And buy trying some passwords, the Hacker was able to enter the account and begin to manage to send letter to the friends of the hacked account.
here are some of my tips to prevent hacking of your friendster account :
- Do not show your e-mail in public not unless you want to invite crook to enter on your account.
- Avoid using ordinary passwords that is common like 123,111,000, pangit,pogi and others you know that other will also thinking
- Avoid using password that relates to you in which you always mention in your post or other in the Internet ( I.e, Wife or husband name, children’s name , Birthday, and anything that can be seen in your profile.
- If possible constantly change your password.
And as a conclusion beware of sending sensitive information in friendster message why don’t you use your email account. and before giving anything verify first who you are talking to. BEWARE there are lots of culprit out there. If this could happen to friendster it could also happen to any community site.
