FRIENDSTER is hacked!


Last Friday, after chatting with my family in the Philippines, I opened my Friendster account but I can’t access and the page showed it was under maintenance. I waited for several hours since oftentimes, Friendster resumed its site after few hours. Disappointedly, it was midnight already but the site was still unavailable. Medyo kakaiba from the usual na maintenance na ginagawa nila. I thought my account was hacked so I called up my friend, sinabi sa akin na wala talagang friendster.

Saturday, when I logged in on my Friendster account, lo and behold, my friends were down to 10! I panicked! According to Friendster, it was just a power failure that caused the errors in their databases. No need to worry about missing friends and access problems because they were doing their part to resolve the issue in the next 24 hours.

However, a lot of Friendster fanatics were already pissed off and disappointed. Today, my friends told me it was back to normal, but it has been six days and i still have not recovered some of my friends. I found out that a hacker named h4xOrnytmare infiltrated their database.
