Useless hacker spam (and some USEFUL info)
12 years ago
Ok, there's a flood of folks copy/pasting a useless warning about the hacker. Won't go into details, I am sure you saw a few dozen those journals by now, so I'll just give a USEFUL tip:
(▼ My FA) -> (▼ Site Security) -> (Activity Log) is the place where you can see where your account was accessed from lately
(▼ My FA) -> (▼ Site Security) -> (Active Sessions) is the place where you can see where your account is logged on from NOW. ("NOW" means not that FA is being browsed from there right now, but the PC and browser where you won't need to log in to get to your account.) You can also "kick" any of those sessions from this screen.
So two simple tips:
1) LOG OUT after you finished if you're not on your own PC/phone (including shared ones), and
2) Keep your PC clean (keyloggers are a bitch).

When all that is said and done, if this happened to be a legit threat, it would be easy as hell to track in FA's server-log and undo for the affected users. People need to calm their tits. This is most likely no more than a stupid chain letter.
(Ok, I know, I am a bad bear :)
What it makes me think of, though, is that if there was such a hole on FA, even fixed within 24 hours, a shitton of people would go "FA sucks, nothing ever gets done, etc".
