Facebook? Hackers? PORN?! Over the last few days, there’s been a rumor circulating through the interwebs that says Facebook hackers are posting porn to your Facebook profile. According to a number of web security experts, this is a complete hoax.
Read on for more.
People on Facebook are posting this message just as much as they were the rumor about Facebook starting to charge users. Some versions of the message you may see are:
URGENT WARNING TO ALL: Hackers are posting sexual videos and pictures on your walls!!! You dont see them, but your friends do, then it seems as if you posted it!! Copy this as your status to protect your name!!!
And:
THE HACKERS ARE PUTTING SEXUAL VIDEOS TO YOUR NAME IN THE WALLS / PROFILES OF YOUR FRIENDS WITHOUT YOU KNOWING IT. YOU DONT SEE IT, BUT OTHER PEOPLE CAN SEE IT, AS IF THESE WERE A PUBLICATION THAT YOU MADE! ALSO, THEY’RE SENDING INBOX MSGS TO YOUR FRIENDS ASKING YOU TO CLICK A LINK. DON’T DO IT!! SO IF YOU RECEIVE SOMETHING FROM ME ABOUT A VIDEO OR A STRANGE INBOX MESSAGE, IT’S NOT ME!
And:
Hackers are busy on Facebook. They are posting insulting messages on the walls of your friends with your regards without you knowing about it. They are also sending out X-rated pictures. If you receive one of those messages in my name, it isn’t from me. I would NEVER disrespect any of my FB friends! Put this on your wall and warn your friends. Share the news! And please tell me if something is on your wall that is supposed to have come from me
We do know that people have been posting some pornographic thumbnails on people’s profiles but those images are not and have never been invisible to the owner of the profile. We also know that Facebook is smashing these as soon as they are discovered.
If you get this message, please DO NOT forward it on or paste it to your profile. You’re just perpetuating yet another horrible hoax and making more and more people think this kind of shit is funny.
Please don’t make me slap you.
Thanks!
Don't Keep This a
Secret, Share It
