Before You Invest Your Money

A malicious hacking attack on a Christian dating site has been used to break into Facebook accounts and post obscene and racist comments.The online group called 4chan – which hacked former Alaskan governor Sarah Palin’s email account and spread hoax news about a spate of celebrity deaths – is now targeting Christians on Facebook.The hackers stole login details and passwords from an unnamed Christian dating site and used them to break into Facebook accounts.In one instance, they superimposed a target’s face on to a picture of a naked woman and published it on her Facebook page, pretending they had uploaded the incorrect picture by mistake.Posing as one devout Christian woman who had committed to no sex before marriage, they published a status update on her page thanking “Michael” for sex the night before.To make it more believable, they then posted an update that it was really intended to be a private message and had been published by mistake.Status updates posted on other hacked Christians’ Facebook profiles included racist despise messages and messages pretending that the poster had contemplated suicide or had accidentally killed a homeless person.The hackers also caused distress between the users and their friends, writing on one user’s photo that their baby was “hideous” and on another woman’s photo that her teeth matched her skin.One user posted a note asking people to pray for a sick relative, and the 4chan hackers, posing as one of their friends, wrote: “If he dies can I have some of his stuff?”It’s not clear exactly how many users’ accounts were compromised.
