Violated!

I had a message from Facebook this morning, telling me that they’d noticed unusual activity on my account – it had been accessed from Dallas. They advised me to change my password, which I have done immediately. Remembering all these passwords is well nigh impossible, so naturally I do what everyone is advised not to do – I store them in a file on my computer.

Then I had an email from a friend telling me that the link I had sent him didn’t work. Needless to say, I hadn’t sent any link. When I logged onto Facebook, I discovered that the same email (offering an Ipad or something to the first 50 people to respond) had been sent to all my Facebook contacts. Hence my feeling of being violated.

I do hope nobody has downloaded a virus by clicking on “my” link. I wish these spotty, teenage hackers could find something better to do with their time.

On a brighter note, Ed and I are off for a family get- together this weekend, again in Cornwall. We’re going the slow route – taking two days to travel each way – but meeting up with the family down there.

Sadly, eldest daughter and family can’t join us as they had a shunt (from behind) and their car is a write-off. Fortunately no one was injured, at least, not seriously, although they’re all somewhat shaken up.

Still, the rest will be there, including son, and youngest daughter from Belgium, so we should have a good time together.

Until next week, fellow Bloggers!
