facebook fiends

No, I meant fiends not friends.......if you look real quick it looks like you friend, same picture etc but then you get a message asking for money.  Hmmmm this friend does not pass on spam so what gives.  After a little investigation you discover a fiend has hacked into your friends account, set up a new account and had a bunch of her friends refriend and then sent out spam.    Sheeeeeeesh!  Don't hackers have anything better to do with their time?  Perhaps they are avoiding cleaning house just like I am when I waste hours on facebook!  Today, a friend posted that there is a "more secure" way to sign in to facebook.....your url should have https   NOT just http.......is it me or is this just toooooooo much work!  Honestly who really wants to look at pictures of my cute drooling granddaughter or my boys digging trenches in my back yard.  Really?????   Get a real job people!   It's annoying but not enough to drop off the facebook world page.  I enjoy looking at cute videos of my granddaughters, phone downloads of grandkids in other states that I only get to see once or twice a year and it's so much easier to message the kids to plan a family reunion.  I am in for the long haul but I really do need to start setting a timer to make myself get off!  As for the hackers, I guess they'll always be out there with their own need for procrastination...hmmmm maybe they even are getting paid to do this and it is a job for them (sorry excuse as that could be!).
