Contacts disappearing in both facebook and email accounts

My Facebook Friends, email contact lists from TWO different accounts have all been deleted, while a phishing scheme went out to my contacts that I had been mugged in Europe and needed money... All simultaneously. August 12 2010.

Editor's Comment: Dear 'S', We are sorry to hear this. We haven't heard of such an attack before using facebook and email information.

It sounds to us as though someone - possibly that you know - has compromised your password and from there gained access to all of your accounts. Can we recommend that you at least look at our page relating to password security to ensure that this does not happen to you again?

Good luck in fixing this.
