Thanks for that 470four.I had forgotten about this feature within Facebook.Fortunately I must have set up my profile for friends only some time back.One can't be too careful that's for sure.
Just checked and my settings are still safe! But that's cause I'm not stupid enough to have a facebook account at all, let alone one filled with enough personal details for anyone to actually be me..... or my Nigerian twin brother!
What is this facebook you speak off? One of the lads I work with bangs on about it ALL the time, best thing since sliced bread. He tells everyone what he`s doing, when he`s done it and probably what colour it was. Your thinking he`s a teen? nah, he`s 51. Keeps him of the streets I suppose. DOH!! Just seen the irony of this post. His facebook, my Ducati forum :redface:
Thanks Anth. Is a shirt and tie compulsory? Did think about joining, I`d be able to keep in touch with no1 daughter when she goes to uni in September. To be honest though, the last person she`ll ever want to accept as a friend is "the old fella"
Ooh yeah, She'll not be wanting you being able to just log on and find out what her and friends are up to....ignorance is bliss sometimes too! Oh the shirt and tie is only required on special occasions by the way, yer know births, deaths, weddings that sort of thing. Otherwise long greasy hair, trousers three sizes too big and a smelly megadeath t shirt should do it
And I thought that I was the only person in the world who didn't have a "see how exciting my life is compared to yours"book account.
And LinkedIn admitted a couple of days ago that their database was hacked and all passwords have become available to the hacker. Bearing in mind that most people (including me) tend to use the same password over and over again for all sorts of different sites... This is not good. I'm busily updating mine - but there are just so many places I've logged into. Fortunately for anything financial, I use something else. Still...
Luddites, the lot of you I got on facebook to track down some people when my best buddy died, but in the process rekindled friendships far and wide. I'm now in touch with ex-pat family members I'd long forgotten about, and I've even managed to drum up some trade via facebook. It's a damn useful site sometimes. And I'm friends with Ron 'Chopper' Harris
I do not even have those options? One coming close is whom to allow to search for you on facebook using e-mail or phone you provided.
I'd be more concerned about your paypal account if I were you. Had mine hacked, it's a lot less secure than they make it out to be.
That's why mine's set up with a bank account that I transfer the money into as I spend it on paypal......if it's not available on the debit card on the account then no can do Mr Scammer man.
I never had my PayPal, Facebook, e-mail hacked. I do know people who did but then again Marius123 is not a password nor is for example Jasmin12 for my neighbours Wi-Fi that I needed during outage of my internet. In regards of LinkedIn well hackers did not get passwords but hash data, data they need to decrypt. No one said that hash contained user names and passwords which is what they would need for it to be valuable. Depending how good encryption was used by LinkedIn it might take months to decrypt it. Still better change the password.
