Facebook Hackers from the Future!

I got this email from Facebook today, and apparently my account was accessed on an iPhone by someone in the future! OMG HAX.

Either today is the day I successfully complete my time machine (made exclusively from broken pieces of the Large Hadron Collider) – or hackers in the future are wreaking havoc in my account, and there’s nothing I can do about it! At least Facebook were kind enough to notify me…

In reality this is happening because I’m in GMT+11 and Facebook’s servers in San Francisco are in GMT-8, making for an awesome 19-hour time difference. Unfortunately this makes my story far more mundane, so I’m sticking with hax0rs from the future. I think the guys at Facebook may want to disambiguate this email somewhat by putting in the date/time in UTC.

If you too want to be notified when there are unexpected logins to your Facebook account, check out my post on Facebook’s Suspicious Login Tracking.
