Social Question

Recently, are you getting emails from FB with a code to change your password?

Asked by LuckyGuy (43847points) 7 hours ago

It looks like some entity is trying to get into my FB account and keeps trying passwords and then requesting a code to change pw. This looks like an AI attack from somewhere.
Are you getting similar emails or texts?

Of course I notified FB and they know the source location. But, that can be spoofed.

No.

If you do change your password, do it from the actual site and not from the email.

I gave up Facebook years ago after Facebook facilitated 2 years of death threats against my husband. It was widely covered in the news media as well.

He was eventually proven innocent after a trial, but the people who read Facebook apparently know the truth, cuz Facebook wouldn’t ever allow anyone to publish misleading information, right?

Anyway, after that experience, I have learned to question anything that happens on social media, or the news.

Not me. But I think this happened to my dad. The account looks like it’s run by a bot now. Their new post generates a ton of comments from no one I recognize and talking about a shared history that doesn’t exist. Super weird.

Maybe to look more like a real account?

I had several earlier this week – not from Facebook, but one from social security and one from a bank. My guess is that someone bought a bunch of hacked data and is trying it out.

What is this thing called “Facebook”?

A few months ago for Instagram, but I know I don’t have an Instagram account.
