    Someone hacked my facebook account!

    I went to go on facebook today and my password was changed - so I discovered an email from the facebook people to say they had detected suspicious behaviour on my account and locked and changed password.
    So I reset it and discovered someone has replaced my profile pic with an aetheist message - as my page states I am a christian.
    How would someone do that?

    So I got a bit freaked out and am currently scanning my whole computer and have just changed all of my passwords for various things!

    This happen to anyone else?

    I would say it wasn't a random person... more someone you know who could guess your PW or knows your email password or something.

    Oh my goodness! Why would someone want to do that?

    How scary and violating for you .

    I hope you have no further problems with them.

    Well, no one knows my email password other than me... so it's not that and I doubt they could've guessed my password - which was a combination of things personal to me only.
    I don't know, facebook was aware of it, infact they picked it up before I did and locked my account, which is reassuring anyway.

    I doubt it's a computer hacker. They wouldn't be hacking facebook, instead banks and stuff.
