Last evening while searching for thought provoking articles to share with you, my worst fear (being hack) began to unfold as I search the article entitled, "How to Handle Social Networking Security Risks".
While reading the article, my facebook profile was displayed on the screen. I took a double take, got off the site, and started looking for antivirus software. The next 4 hours was spent downloading software and running virus scans on my (Mac) computer.
I refused to use wifi, and later pulled the Ethernet cable from the computer as well.
This evening it hit me and I had to chuckle, it was so my fault for checking the little box that asks if you would like to stay logged into to facebook. No wonder the website had access to my profile. I will now, make the necessary security measures (uncheck the box) and try the website again.
Stay Tune for the Update!
