lebjournal.com- What is spamming?

Spamming is the abuse of electronic messaging systems to indiscriminately send unsolicited bulk messages. While the most widely recognized form of spam is e-mail spam, the term is applied to similar abuses in other media: instant messaging spam, Usenet newsgroup spam, Web search engine spam, spam in blogs, wiki spam, mobile phone messaging spam, Internet forum spam and junk fax transmissions.
Spamming remains economically viable because advertisers have no operating costs beyond the management of their mailing lists, and it is difficult to hold senders accountable for their mass mailings. Because the barrier to entry is so low, spammers are numerous, and the volume of unsolicited mail has become very high. The costs, such as lost productivity and fraud, are borne by the public and by Internet service providers, which have been forced to add extra capacity to cope with the deluge. Spamming is widely reviled, and has been the subject of legislation in many jurisdictions.

What is Hacking?

There are many definitions of hacking, as well as varying ideas of what a hacker is or does. Simply stated a hacker is any programming specialist who has the expertise to enter a computer or network without proper authorization. In reference to a system’s security, hacking is usually defined as the act of illegally entering a computer system, and making unauthorized changes to the files and data contained within.

But did Facebook face hacking and spamming?

Yeah, also spamming and hacking have taken place. But here on Facebook there faces have changed. Then what is the face in which hacking and spamming took place of facebook?
This time the face of spamming and hacking was one. On facebook, you receive a link on your wall from a friend who also has fallen in that trick. That wall post would be telling you that your friend is introducing you to his friend who is a very beautiful girl. You press on that link to go to that girl’s profile, your profile is directly hacked and that wall post is sent to your entire friend list. But what is funny about that, is that you don’t know that your profile got hacked but instead you see that wall post is on all your friends walls.
Then weeks pass by, and what you see is that your friends ask you about another link that you sent them. You don’t know what link they are talking about until you check your friends’ walls. Then you would post a message saying sorry to all of your friends on facebook. And you think that what happened is that your facebook profile is being attacked by a virus and your computer would b affected. But the truth is that your profile is being hacked by a certain company which would send spasm in the future without you noticing that these spams are being sent.

But spams about what are sent??? What are the hackers and spammers benefited???
What is happening is that the spams are for porn websites or for work websites or for chat websites. If the spams are for porn websites, then the users who would check this kind of sites and would pay money to watch certain kinds of movies, he would pay and by that way, the spammed website is being benefited. But if the spammed websites are for work sites (commercial websites), by this way that company will be benefited if the products it sells interest the people, then that company would have more work and that would result in increasing the sales of this company. But if the spammed websites are for chatting, what benefits would they have? The only benefit that these websites would have is that the number of chatters would increase on that website.
But now if you got the following symptoms in your profile, is there a way to fix again your profile? Is there a way to stop spammers using your profile???
The answer is YES. The only way to stop these spammers from using your profile is to change your profile password. I had these symptoms in my profile and the facebook administration reset my profile password and I was forced to make a new password. So why don’t you stop it before you reach the place in your profile where you are forced to do as so.
