lady friend had her ident stolen and realatives thought that she was asking for money, they used this to spoof her id to others somehow. it all started when she opened a message that disappeared as soon as she clicked on it.

I have a friend who was targeted because of her Facebook account. She received a couple of calls from someone claiming to be her grandson. Fortunately, she's not drooling yet, and knew it was a hoax.

Haven't heard any stories of peoples' iPhones being hacked, or whatever it is they do to get access. I have an iPhone, and only use it to talk to people, mostly my kids. I don't access any of my personal online accounts with it. I don't even like the damn thing, or any cell phone for that matter.
