a day after holidays in my town chennai, opened my facebook to find a sad status update from my friend saying " dear friends my face book account is hacked and the obscene images are not posted by me... pls be careful save your accounts..." .
( this status message liked by one person within 15 minutes..ha..ha..ha)
shocked to see that..went to his wall, found some obscene link liked by him.
now question is this "when your friend's facebook account hacked, what would you do?"
1) socio cultural credibility of your friend is under question?
though he is your close friend, in the back of your mind there is small percentage of doubt
2) should i unsubscribe from him?
you will not like obscene links posted on your wall that would be seen by your family,friends and colleagues, which apparently has happened to your friend. and our knowledge on hacking is really poor. we believe hacking is like virus that spreads.
( even if i just watch an obscene link posted from a friend's hacked account, my account also will be hacked) the fear makes you unsubscribe from him for a while.
3) does it weaken personal branding?
yes, of course. most of the individuals are connected to colleagues, future employers, previous employers and industry coworkers on facebook. what you post on your wall decides what kind of a person you are, when it comes to work. so your personal branding is under thread.
THE SOLLUTION:
nothing you could do. rebrand yourself on facebook.
