Facebook Got Hacked?
Monday, November 16th, 2009Monday, November 16th, 2009 @ precisely 12:00AM I tried to log into facebook. I entered Facebook.com into my browser’s URL field and clicked submit. Oddly enough, the browser proceeded to redirect me to Myspace. I refreshed a number of times and it further redirected me to a Myspace profile page of a 16 year old named Samuel Garcia. Were my eyes deceiving? I tested Facebook on my only other internet browser, my cell phone. Same thing, the URL automatically got rerouted to Garcia’s Myspace page.
I thought that facebook got hacked. It only lasted for 5-6 minutes. I posted about it elsewhere to see what peeps had to say. A friend of mine that works in the field and that is familiar with this sort of thing had this to say:
Whatever really happened was odd and only lasted briefly. If that kid, if he’s really a kid, hacked into my ISP or Facebook then K U D O S to him…:-)
