Hacked Pinterest page

So someone hacked my Pinterest page. They added like 5 "getting fit" pages with what I'm sure were weight loss scams. Obviously I deleted them and changed my password, but just a heads up to anyone who has a Pinterest page. I don't know why the hell you'd want to do that, but obviously Pinterest is not exempt from hackers. What a bunch of asswipes.

  • There have been "hackers" on Pinterest since it started.  Basically, people post malicious pins with a creative picture.  You click on the link, it takes you to a bad page, they get control of your account.  Most commonly, they end up posting weight loss pins.

  • Hackers are everywhere...it's super annoying but the trick is to not click on anything suspicious ;)

    Easier said than done sometimes though....

  • I will never understand hackers... I mean, are they all sitting in their mom's basement just hacking away at people's stuff? Get a life! LOL... At least that's how I picture them!

    I think I'll go change all my passwords now.

    Believe it or not, some hackers actually work for software companies (or at least that was what I was told once). The companies hire them to do this stuff so they can then turn around and sell you their 'anti-virus' software. Then you have the hackers who do it because they use it for scamming and stealing money from people. Then you have the ones who simply do it for kicks.

    And yes, how you picture them is exactly how they are...ever see the movie Hackers? ;)

  • Ugh. I guess I just never thought in Pinterest as a place to "hack". So sweet and innocent over here lol. It's taken care of, I was just blown away.

    If there's money to be made, then any site can be a target for hackers, unfortunately....
