Dateline 19 Jul 15 as posted on FACEBOOK
It was very scary. My reputation was at stake. Someone
penetrated my timeline on facebook and posted a link in my name. The link
showed number of indecent photos. I was informed by my son who being sunday was
at home and checking facebook. He rushed and informed me about it. I
immediately opened my account on FB and was shocked to find. In the meantime
messages from friends poured in my inbox. Few phoned me too. I was felt totally
embarrassed. In the meantime, my son started deleting photos. I opened my
settings and tried to report to FB. Some advised me to deactivate the account
and open a new one. My son was successful in intimating FB about these
malicious posts. Those were though deleted from my account yet I was not sure whether
those appeared still on my friends' account. I had to inform everyone that my
account was breached and hacked. It was really a bad, very bad experience. Now
a days every member of the family above 18 years is on facebook. Think of my
mental agony. I am not yet over it. On advice of my son and facebook, I changed
my password on facebook and my e-mail both. Facebook asked my permission to go
into my computer too and find if any malware is present. However it could not
find any, thanks to Quick Heal protection in my laptop.
Request everyone also to change your settings,’ who should
see your post from Public to Friends only’
I would welcome any advice and suggestion how to deal such a
situation to control the damage immediately and for future also.
IT MAY HAPPEN
TO ANYONE ON FACEBOOK

One of my students faced such incident and was punished badly to long sickness although it was not his posts....Stupid teachers punished an innocent student....
