Why I Am Not Getting Notifications On Facebook

I was doing my common early morning regimen last Sunday (June 19) when I found something odd about my Facebook account: I'm getting notifications from people I don't understand. Much more specifically, I'm obtaining 'likes' and also comments from condition updates and also links that I really did not upload, as well as updates from teams I did not sign up with.

The Solution

This got me to thinking of my Facebook settings, and also hit upon the service equally as I was searching mine: it's an issue with how my Account Safety and security was set up. * headpalm *.

I quickly uploaded a remedy to my Posterous and also now I'm replicating it here for all to see (with [modifies]:

Last Ideas.

[Upgraded June 29, 2011] I know there are still secrets to be fixed yet the culprit right here actually is, well, my laziness: I must have inspected those safety settings before. With all the current goings-on concerning hacking and also such, I need to have double-checked my accounts to ensure that I can least protect them from intrusion. I actually don't recognize without a doubt it this was associated keeping that, yet at the very least I could rest easy that I have actually done something about it.
