Facebook Remove timeline request hack?
« on: May 30, 2012, 01:28:21 AM »
So, i got this request from a friend i used to go to school with, and it said request to remove your timeline.. I clicked on it(tapped, used ipod) and it said "hacked by Mangu and all this other stuff.. I dont know if it dangerous or just some hoax or something to try and scare me, but has anyone else had that request and clicked on it? did anything bad happen?


Sorry if this is in the wrong forum

EDIT: it took me to another page not something on facebook..

The link..?

When posting, use hXtp:// to break the link for the unaware.

It is natural that Zulu and SiteCheck couldn't find anything to scan, as the homepage leads to no external links.
I feel that the link was in a sub-directory, such as thesite.com/this/file.php?q=4920
