Don't break into virtual houses!

[Rob Williams]

Here's a good lessen that in some countries, it's apparently illegal to break into a virtual house!

“I don’t think it matters that the flat only exists in Facebook, it is real to me and I have suffered a real loss,” said Paola Letizia, the victimized digital homeowner. She claims to have suffered a loss of around $139.

lol idiot..... I have never had a single account of mine hacked, so I always wonder how the hell it just seems to happen to some people..... Like they always say, if your house was broken into and stuff is missing its likely someone you know that did it, I wonder if the same is true about individual accounts getting hacked. Also if your account gets hacked so easily then what was your password? Was it password, or something equally as stupid? you could easily even make a strong password just like this, p1a2s3s4w4o5r6d7 or p45w0rd..... I don't know maybe its just me but I feel as a collective the intelligence of humans is rapidly slipping. Check out Idiocracy for a vision of the future.

There has been a lot of press a few weeks ago about how some of the popular f/b games open up much too much about your account. Given the lack of policing, versus Apple & their apps for instance, I should imagine that someone has thought of writing f/b apps that are strictly for scamming under the guise of being as real life as possible.

Hmmmm, so the next app for f/b should be apartment/home owner's insurance? Better make sure you have flood insurance just in case you "live" in a flood plane.
