At least once a day you read the sentence on Facebook: “I have been hacked”! This sentence is then read by users after any dubious status posts, pictures or videos have been published via their Facebook account.
But “I was hacked” basically means: “I was so curious about the video and even though my gut feeling was screaming NO, I had to click on that f*cking link. Of course, I knew in advance that there was a high probability that something “evil” was hiding here, but it could have been so. Above all, I had to enter my login details because I really wanted to see the video!
Somewhere, thousands of iPhones, thousands of ovens, thousands upon thousands of unclaimed, unwon Thermomix(s) are living a sad life in Facebook competitions because people like YOU don't want to believe that they can REALLY be won! I, on the other hand, want to win it because my friend's mother's neighbor's great aunt told me that she also took part.
You haven't been hacked!
And yet I will still be annoyed in the future if you send me links to Mimikama under my competitions or phishing posts. If I want a motorhome, a tiny home, an iPhone or an oven and believe that someone will actually give the clutter away, then that's my business. If I really want to see if I'm the one in the funny video, I don't need your instructions that there's a click trap behind it."
Net find. No punchline. Always like that on social media. You haven't been hacked.
