On August 22, 2024 my profile on Facebook was hacked. I had a roomful of crafters in my Nook and was distracted. I have always been very careful but I was victim of helping a friend to re-access her Facebook account. Not only did the perpetrator disable me from accessing my profile and several groups I had created, but ALL of my photos in my profile and groups were removed. As of this date, any attempts to notify Facebook have been unfruitful - receiving no response. The perpetrator also tried to sell a Honda Civic on my page and get people to make a deposit. I have never owned a Honda!
It is sad that years of memories have vanished. Life has been exceptionally busy and I haven't had time to access any backups I had to see what I may still have. Essentially my "scrapbooking" and creating memory albums has come to an abrupt halt. Going forward I will be sure to securely save elsewhere any thing important to me. It is sad that anything I had posted anywhere was now wiped clean. It is as if I no longer existed! I especially felt bad that the images of creations of those who had come to the Nook over the years and the memories we made were no longer present to be inspiring for others.
I had considered not getting back on Facebook at all but for my craft group, it is the most effective way to plan events, manage RSVPs and provide information.
It is a sad world we live in where people can be so evil and malicious. Choose kindness always in everything The Golden Rule still matters: Do onto others as you would have them do onto you. (Matthew 7:12)
