How to Protect your Facebook Account from Getting Hacked


Facebook is the best Social Networking Website and Ranked 2nd after Google in terms of Traffic. Facebook has tons of users and the Facebook Accounts are highly targeted by the Hackers. But the users who don’t have any knowledge about security are unable to protect there account.


Hackers after Hacking the Facebook Account may update any status, change personal information or profile pictures. If you are a Facebook user, then add some security to your Account.



Have A Strong Password

The most important thing is to have a strong password for your facebook account. If you don’t have a strong password, then it will easily be cracked. Have a strong password which should be more than 12 characters long, include symbols, combination of small and capital letters etc.




Always Use Https Environment

When browsing Facebook, you can use http or https environment. https is more secure and it will get difficult for hackers to break the https environment. You can easily use https environment by logging here https://www.facebook.com/ This will add more security to your Facebook Account.




Don’t Friend With Everyone

Its always advised to only friend with those who are known to you. If you are getting some Friend Requests this doesn’t means that you have to accept them. Only accept the requests of the persons who are known to you.
There may be some other users who are not known to you and if you accept there friend request, they might try to hack you by seeing your personal information. So don’t add the persons who are unknown to you, this will add more security to your facebook account.

Strangers Swag: Needle Magic Again



 Confucious, that is Zynga, has allowed the Stranger to come out and play once more. The Stranger currently brings us more Needle Magic




The Stranger left the Zynga Studios with the wrong toy this morning and Mommy Pincus called the Stranger back into the house to put away those Police Frequency Radios that apparently we were not supposed to get.


You are a bad girl Stranger.........!

FarmVille 2 Cross Promotion


The FarmVille 2 Cross Promotion is available in the game now. Unfortunately, there seems to have no time frame provided by Zynga before this promotion will be out of the game. What you have to do in FarmVille 2 is to reach Level 20 to receive a Angora Rabbit (209/166) 

FarmVille 2 is a flash-based game, meaning it's completely different compared to our Mafia Wars. I highly doubt that much Mafia Wars players would enjoy playing flash games, otherwise Mafia Wars 2 wouldn't have flunked and went down the hill.

If you missed the popup to enter FarmVille 2 via the promotion link or it did not appear for you, you may access it right from here - CLICK HERE TO Play FARMVILLE 2!



This is the Grand Prize you'll receive once reaching Level 20. For the previous Cross Promotions, all we had to do was to reach Level 12, however for this current one, we would have to reach Level 20 for a piece of loot.

The Trippy Trailer


The 22nd Limited Time Upgrade Property (and 26th Global Property) has 4 wheels and then some. It’s called the Trippy Trailer and is full of items from the hippie generation of the 70’s.  To fully upgrade this property to Level 15 we have a total of 16 days to collect 471 parts.


You will need to get a total of 471 parts to fully upgrade this property



When you are all filled up on each part, it’s time to build to Level 1 or upgrade to the next levels.


Share these posts because your mafia can collect additional parts. Each player can pick up 4 parts every 8 hours from bragging posts. As most of know, the game will tell you the limit is 3 but it’s really 4 (try it and see for yourself).




The loot items available for crafting from the Trippy Trailer are shown below. The Tropic Storm comes with +3 stamina, the Hippie with +4 attack  and the Exotic Chemist with +5 defense for the Bronze, Silver, Gold and Ruby Levels. The Emerald Level Exotic Chemist comes with +6 defense points. 

Kiss Kiss Bong Bong Levels 1-3




Hippie Levels 7-10




Hippie Levels 7-10







Exotic Chemist Levels 11-15






Advisory: Major update to Zynga Customer Support website coming on 9/27/2012





Players,

We are in the process of putting the final touches on a major update to the Zynga Customer Support website (http://support.zynga.com). The updated site launches September 27, 2012.

What's in store? 

Social Support
Social Support is a Question & Answer forum for each game that enables players to post questions and answer other player's questions. You can even answer your own question, similar to a wiki.

Social Support will soon replace the Player Help & Support forums within our existing forums (http://forums.zynga.com). If you use the Player Help & Support forums, you will be redirected to support site to the matching Social Support Q&A for your game.

New Account System
We are implementing a new account system that simplifies our account management and makes for a more seamless experience for our players. Every player seeking Customer Support help and/or participating in the Social Support Q&A forums must register via Facebook Connect.

Improved, Federated Search
Based on player feedback, we took a hard look at our search functionality. So we created a new backend system that will allow search to be global (same search across multiple games) and federated, which means you'll be able to search through both knowledge base articles AND Q&A forum posts. That's pretty cool!

We'll keep you posted with more info as we get closer to launch date.

Regards,

Zynga Support

That’s A Wrap – Next Secret District Comming Soon




That’s A Wrap! That is That’s The Next Secret District. Or is Zynga sending us messages again? Is Zynga saying this is the end? It wouldn’t surprise me if it was since after the DAU drops to an unspecified level it will be highly likely that Zynga will stop updating this game with new content.The job page banners for That’s A Wrap will change from Bronze to Ruby levels as follows;

Bronze


Silver


Gold


Ruby


The Hit-List; Next Limited Time Mission


The Hit List Banner 2

With under 1 day left in OverSoul Winds Zynga is already gearing up for the next Limited Time Mission which will be called "The Hit-List".

“The biggest hit comes from the hardest blow”
I must have a dirty mind because that quote just doesn’t sound right. It could very easily be taken out of context.
Of course with the ever-dwindling player base maybe Zynga should head Auria Wilson’s words.....!
