Facebook: Hacked

Relevant links: facebook.com, simflecks.com, twitter.com

If anyone actually visits this site and uses Facebook, please 1) change your passwords now, 2) accept invites from people who are over 18 and 3) whom you have met personally. My family and extended clan has been affected by this; all of our accounts have been disabled and our passwords changed, so now we have a catch-22 situation. But even the self-help recovery process is, at this point, useless: sending the security code to yourself (if you still have access to your e-mail account) to complete the account retrieval results in a sending code error. One of my cousins was even hacked twice after he made a new account.

Blargh. I think I'll wait for a bit and hopefully it'll all come to pass. Otherwise I'm looking at the end of the world, or 2012, whichever comes first...
