You either have a social networking account or you don't. In other words, you're either 'with it' or not.
And when you hearing of how so-and-so's profile was hacked into, you always feel like it's something that could never happen to you.
But it can and it does. One false move is all it takes -- and sometimes not even that.

Do you have a similar story to tell of being duped online through a social networking account?
Has someone hacked into your profile, sent friends misleading messages or stalked you using information you've made available online?
