Post by: idontknowyet on October 05, 2021, 04:48:39 AM: Does anyone else think this was another cyberattack or do we have any other wild theories.

Post by: Lynn on October 05, 2021, 05:34:01 AM: Hm. I'll spin a story. :) After yesterday's interview (someone who worked at Facebook I think, but I'm not up on the news, only a few headlines), a hacker group decided to see what they could find and hacked into Facebook looking for the dirt they could use to blackmail Facebook executives who are worried about the falling stock price and their retirement plans.

I admit, I made a typo when I was making up this completely hypothetical story and misspelled Facebook as Fecebook. I chose not to leave it that way, but I do somewhat regret that decision. :D

Found out this morning, Google suspended my account for a typo in a redirect URL. It is a no-no to misdirect ADs. Oops.

My guess, Googs took down FB to prevent me from moving my corrected ADs to FB.

Just because your are paranoid doesn't mean they are not out to get you.

Just as I read this, there was someone speculating about that very possibility on BBC news - coincidence or what?

There's a word for people who think everyone is out to get them; perceptive.

Are you saying Zuckerberg is an alien harvesting people and resources for nefarious purposes?

I have no ill will towards our alien overlords. I understand they must be covert due to the inherent xenophobia of the human race.

Unfortunately, the truth is getting out:
