The message claims that just accepting her friend request will allow this Nichole Morgan to take control of your computer and hack the computers of people on your friends list as well. It also warns that the woman is known for repeated sexual harassment incidents. \u00a0 The message features a photograph depicting the supposed hacker.<\/p>\n<p>However, the claims in the message are nonsense. In fact, the message is just a revamped version of a series of <a class=\"norm\" title=\"Christopher or Jessica Davies Hacker Hoax Warning\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.com\/christopher-davies-hacker-hoax.shtml\">very similar hoaxes<\/a> that have circulated via social media and email for years on end. The wording of this new version is clearly derived from earlier variants, including one that named a <a class=\"norm\" title=\"Christopher Butterfield Hacker Warning Hoax\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.com\/christopher-butterfield-hacker-hoax.shtml\">Christopher Butterfield<\/a> as the supposed hacker:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>DO NOT ACCEPT a friend request from a CHRISTOPHER BUTTERFIELD he is a hacker. Tell everyone on your list because if somebody on your list adds him u get him on your list too and he&#8217;ll figure out ur computer&#8217;s ID and address, so copy and paste this message to everyone even if u don&#8217;t care for them cause if he hacks their email he hacks your mail too! SEND TO ALL FRIENDS. Copy and paste to ur page&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>All such warnings are hoaxes. The messages suggest that just accepting a person &#8211; in this case Nichole Morgan &#8211; as a &#8220;friend&#8221; on your contact list will give the hacker access to your computer along with the computers of everyone else on your list as well. This is total nonsense. Cybercrooks use a range of tactics to trick users into relinquishing access to their computers. They might, for example, trick victims into installing trojan software that allows a computer to be controlled remotely. Or they might use a phishing attack to trick a victim into sending them personal information such as usernames and passwords, which would, of course, allow them to access their victim&#8217;s account. However, even the smartest criminal will not be able to hack your computer just by being added to your contact list. For a hacking attempt to be successful, some sort of file transfer or exchange of information must take place.<\/p>\n<p>The Nichole Morgan version of the hoax is more heinous than most in that it includes a photograph of the person accused of doing the hacking and harassing. False messages such as this can severely damage the reputation of innocent people. The hoax may have been created by a person with a grudge against the pictured woman. Or it may have started as an amazingly ill conceived prank perpetrated by one of the woman&#8217;s friends.<\/p>\n<p>Sending on this bogus warning will do nothing whatsoever to help you stay safe online. Moreover, its continued circulation may hurt an innocent person. If you encounter this hoax message, please do not share it with others. And please let the person who posted it know that the message is a hoax.<\/p>\n<p>\n<script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- Third Content Ad Responsive --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0355887770822260\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"1909104632\"\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- HS Net Bottom AdLinks --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0355887770822260\" data-ad-slot=\"1358951439\" data-ad-format=\"link\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"date\">Last updated: \u00a07th February 2017<br \/>\nFirst published: 31st July 2013<br \/>\nBy Brett M.
