It looks as if the Facebook hackers are back on the scene, after we have just picked up on numerous reports of profile hacks occuring last night. Were you affected by this?
We are not sure if this is happening in all regions, but it looks as if a ’spam campaign’ is going around Facebook profiles which results in specific links being posted on all of your friend’s profile walls.
Two people that we have spoken to have confirmed that this occured to them last night, and they have now changed their passwords just in case.
No word from Facebook themselves yet, as it could just be a small minority that have been affected. Let us know if you have anything to share on this matter.

i had mine hacked… those dirty gits sent a message to all of my friends posting how to loose weight, how to pick up chicks…
i’m thinking of getting rid of facebook once and for all…!
I happened to me too just as DaMonSta. Something sent junk to all my contacts with a link.
I got hacked last night too. ads to facebookhealth4.com. Posted on my wall and all my friends’ walls. i have not tried to go to that website to see what’s there.
2 friends, who are completely unrelated to each other, got hit with this.
My guess is it’s from one of the ads, since up until a couple months ago, all of them were money scams. Might be a new breed now.
My profile was hacked at midnight local time. Same deal as everyone else it seems. As far as regions go, I’m from a northern community in Canada. That makes it far less likely it was a regional hack. I’m just wondering if this hack was a cover for something more insidious, or just some shoes showing off what they are capable of.
Same thing happened to me. 8 messages posted on my wall, and a message on each fo my friends walls. Does anyone know how they hacked in yet?
same here!
facebookhealth4.com on all of my friends’ pages!
Plus about 10 posts on my own profile.
very annoying
Mine was also hacked. It changed my facebook status a few times and posted on all my friends walls linking to facebookhealth4.com
MY account has been hacked with the message facebookhealth4.com being sent to several of my contacts. Will changing my password do the trick?
it happened to me also last night 2am..10 on my page and a message on all my friends (ny)
