Hey moderators, who hacked the forum???

I'm seeing some random lady all over the place. Someone better check the server, their login credentials, etc lol. I wouldn't want user information to be compromised.

Maybe it's your computer, I'm not seeing anything...

No Lady on my computer.
Well, not the one the OP is talking about.

Do you use facebook messenger?

I do, I refreshed the page a couple of times and then it all went away. Now the page just has blank avatars. Maybe my computer is compromised.

I had the same thing happen once a few weeks ago. I had navigated straight from facebook messages to here. Coincidence or not, I don't know, but now I always go to a neutral site like Google after messenger. I've heard lots of weird things about messenger and I don't like it.

on a probably unrelated note

"We only access your microphone if you have given our app permission and if you are actively using a specific feature that requires audio," the recent statement reads. "This might include recording a video or using an optional feature we introduced two years ago to include music or other audio in your status updates."

so they pretty much listen etc to you because you gave them permission, should go thru your phone and all the apps you have added and turn off access to camera, mic, contacts etc for each application unless you have an app that uses those for whatever purpose. People have noted they have had targeted ads on their phone even though they were never searched but had only talked about it hours before, the ads were very specific so the users were a little suspicious and they had facebook or whatever installed with all permissions.

Not to freak anyone out but if you do give an app on your phone permission, some kid or who ever designed the app can legally watch or listen whatever you gave permission for thru your phone 24/7 even though its on standby including GPS etc etc.

Go through your Facebook privacy settings and make sure they're not tracking you around the web. They do it by default, then push ads accordingly. Any time you 'like' something that's not directly on Facebook, that adds to it.
