    Scrolling through Facebook to see what was posted while I was sleeping earlier, and I get a notice about an Exploit Rogue Scanner -- whatever that is.

    AVG successfully removed it, but I wonder what it was. If it happened while I was scrolling through, it must have been something one of my friends posted.

    Right now on my Facebook I'm getting an influx of porn on my newsfeed from what I assume to be a page or a friend who's been completely hacked (judging by the fact I don't recognise the name of said page).

    Happy times.

    Which is why people should update their passwords at least every six months. :)

    Well, if you have an extremely secure, long, and hard to guess password, you can wait longer before changing it.

    I also use the same password everywhere; the only places I don't are KH-Flare because I'm a staff member and places where they allow less characters or don't allow special characters, such as the at symbol, to be used.

    So it blocked the same thing again; the blocked object name is fbi (dot) gov followed by some string.

    Heh.
