Yesterday, a friend complained that his social media account on Facebook has been compromised and asked me what to do.
Well I really did not know the answer and tried to give it a try by searching the net and I came across a post at BloggedDown where a few steps have been listed should someone's social media account is compromised.

- Twitter Users: Visit http://support.twitter.com/
