URGENT: Ben Jacksons Facebook Hacked

[DMorgan]

Ben Jacksons facebook account has been hacked - hijackers currently adding members of the poker community and asking for money. Sounds like it would be pretty obvious but just a heads up. Details are sketchy, apparently its an old account or something that was dormant and has now been hacked.

Like I said, details sketchy but just getting the word out

there was a similar thread a while back. surprised facebook can't close the account.

Yeah this is unbelievable. Why are these chumps targeting him Ffs. I even heard of an incident where someone had been playing slot machines out of his bankroll. The guy who got the blame denied it and I trust him so I hope that can be linked to these jokers too.

Did you had a very simple password or was there any specific weakness that made your account a target? All of the information seems pretty wishy washy and along the lines of 'have a hard to guess password' but beyond that there doesn't really seem to be much more you can do to stop your account getting hacked?

Again?! Absolutely mental. He runs so bad at the shady stuff follwing him around unfortunately.

For anyone concerned about their facebook account security it's best to use a unique password that's strong, and also use the two-step authentication to add an additional level of security that can help prevent others accessing your account if they manage to get hold of your password: https://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=10150172618258920
