recently, it has been brought to my attention that my facebook account might have gotten hacked
I was alerted of this by going onto zynga poker application which told me that there was a possibility that I had been hacked
now, this issue only appeared after I switched from internet explorer to opera
now, my question to you tech afficienados is
if you use opera on a secured wireless network
is there a higher risk for being hacked then if you use other web browsers

no
you should first try to dig out why would that poker app say that

no
you should first try to dig out why would that poker app say that
I would, but it's telling me to go to my email account and read their email
now considering that I'm a bit paranoid (a bit is probably an understatement)
I'm not going to use my email account if there is a possibility that someone around here can get my password for it
that's why I posed the question in the first place
thank you for your hasty answer
on second thought, I could have just logged onto my email account using internet explorer
I'm such a retard
:(

maybe your poker app is so stupid that it detected that you switched browser and accused you of hacking..
anyway as I said, find out why you get such a message in the first place

no, it wasn't I should have taken a printscreen of it
it said that there was a risk that my account had gotten hacked
and then it told me to go check my email inbox cause they had sent me a mail about it
I checked the mail yesterday and it said something about me having signed on on an open proxy
:unsure:
anyway, things seem to be solved now
