Please someone help!

I found a bunch of photos of some guy uploaded in my profile! I have no idea who the guy on the photos was. And I don't know who and how uploaded them!!!! That's awful to think that someone has hacked into my account. I really don't want to delete my profile. Sad Is there any way to find out who and when has done that?! I am really worried.

The best thing you can do is change your password right away, not reveal it to ANYONE, and delete any damage he's caused. Hopefully it's more likely to be a prank or someone taking a swipe at you - I can't see it being anything like you being hacked or the likes.

All I can advise is that you don't share your passwords with anyone and you're careful as to where you log-in - always check the URL of the site to ensure it's a legit Flirtbox site; it's easy to be sent links which can harvest any details you enter into them.

If you change your password though (and make it a secure one, not one you can easily guess) you should be fine.

Thank you for the reply.

I have never shared my password with anyone. This is why I'm worried that someone has found a way to hack into the account without knowing my password. I changed it already but I am quite worried now and think that he'll find another way to hack my account again. Sad

Someone may have had a wild guess at your password then, or you may have accidently gone onto a phishing site. Judging from what they actually did with your profile, seems like someone's just 'taking the pee' rather than doing anything serious, so sounds like you've been pranked. Just try not to use an 'obvious' password, and throw in some numbers and the likes for good measure. Make it a hard one to guess.
