What Happened to Jenn Sierra on Facebook?

(Updated 10/18/09)

Greetings, fellow WebWarriors!

This is just a quick update on that Facebook database problem that I wrote about earlier in the week.

Facebook claims the problem has been fixed, but the problems with my account are continuing. I’m having a very difficult time accessing my account, my friends list, my pages, my groups, and my FB e-mails. It’s obvious there’s an attack of some sort going on – I don’t believe I’m the target of the attack, but instead that my account is being used somehow. I also don’t believe it’s because of my conservative activism, per se, but instead I believe it’s related to my support for the JIDF on the web and on Facebook.

I can’t get a response from Facebook on this after NUMEROUS tries, and I’m not comfortable with not understanding what is happening to the account – I have no way of knowing if the account is secure, and whether or not my friends’ accounts are being affected by this. So, I have deactivated the “Jenn Sierra” user ID for now.

Ft. Hard Knox is still going strong, and the FHK Facebook Group will not be affected by this. We have several great administrators who will continue to keep this going, and I’m still working in and supporting the group – just “from behind the scenes.”

P.S. – Several people have asked for more details on exactly what is happening to my account, to see if their own experiences are similar. Basically when I’m logged in, my account is acting the same way home computers act when the modem has been hijacked…like the account has a “mind of its own.” It works sporadically, but simply accessing any page (or the account itself) usually takes several tries. Plus, my entire friends list (of nearly 3,000 people) keeps disappearing.
