I believe it was probably about six months ago that it occurred. It was pretty obvious to me that the account was hacked. I hadn't spoken with the person in some time at that point, so I never followed up, but the person was less than computer literate and seemed like a prime target for password guessing. I never got into MySpace, but hear that that's still worlds worse. The spam adds I've been getting recently on Twitter were really starting to irk me, but haven't gotten any in weeks now, which is hot. I’ve had this happen once in all my years on Facebook.
