Just looking through our friends list and we have someone we have never accepted. Swifty took them off but how has this happened? Have noticed on a couple of occasions that winks have been sent to people that we havent sent to and at times where neither of us have been online.Why and how???  |

would suggest you change your password to your profile and perhaps your recovery email too.
sounds like if you haven;t been doing it, someone has access to your profile.
public access via a work/public computer or perhaps someone else at home using a auto insert password browser? |

From the FAQ's..
I think someone else is logging into / has "hacked" my account!
If you think someone has gained access to your account you should immediately change your password on here via your change password page and on your associated email account if you're using web based email. You should run anti-virus and anti-spyware software to ensure that you don't have a keylogger or spyware installed on your computer.
We take the security of our site and database very seriously. The database server is on a seperate physical server behind a firewall to which only site owners have access, via a specified IP address. All passwords are encrypted and neither site owner nor admin have accesss to them.
The following are some common ways that accounts on Fab are compromised. Please be careful to avoid them!
1: Members share their password with friends, partners, lovers (this is the most common cause of "compromised" accounts).
2: Members login on other people's computers who run a keylogger (we see this via the login history of both parties, matched via verifications!).
3: In a couple, the partner changes/removes the profile and denies it (we see this because we record IP address and verify password of all account deletions).
4: The users use the same password on all sites they're on (including dodgy ones run by people who don't encrypt passwords), and site admins on other sites login using their info. On Fab, passwords are hidden from all users and admins.
5: The users email account is shared/compromised and the "hacker" gets their password from our initial signup email. |

We have accidentally sent friends invites on here when browsing on iPad and iPhone. Have suggested in the past for a confirmation to come up before invites and winks are sent as it's easy to tap the screen in the wrong place while scrolling |

I've just tried to send a wink to a friend on both iPad and iPhone. Both times I was asked to either confirm or cancel. |

We have to confirm to wink or invite so it was not a type error. All being well we are sorted now. Friends that are on our list are because we chose them to be  xx |
