Should I be worried (failed facebook hack)? - blacksabbon - 12-18-2013 08:58 AM
Facebook just told me that someone near hong kong in china tried to access my account. They didn't get in but I had to change my password. Due to posting my email in a public forum years ago, I get scam emails all the time, and I like to mess with them a little bit and reply back and mock them. Some of them are from chinese people.
Should I be worried? Are the scammers getting mad at me or something? >.>

Change your password to something long maybe? and if you can change your email on your facebook account.

you should not get worried along as you don't fall for the scams and if u are really worried delete you're email because they will not stop trying to scam you and y should they get mad because you won't fall for that

So you'd better change your email to use with FB, better yet an address that's not known by others, so they can't pretend as you & say to FB that they forget the password while they know a lot about you. (Either your own friend or some stranger who happened to gather your info).
Also change your password to FB, make a strong password incl for the email that used for FB.

Change your password on all sites to something that is 10+ characters long, has lower & upper case letters, numbers and characters. Try to be a bit random too, so something like
'M4^&h5GH5mk#)bnrn%^GH+-*" < Pretty much un-hackable
'John123' or 'johndoe' or '12121945' < Easily Hackable
Mabye report to police if you have names or usernames and you are sure that they are the same people?
