This blog feature amusing and heartwarming stories about our late Leonberger dog Bronco, as well as other Leonbergers. It also has a lot of information about the Leonberger breed, the history, care, training, Leonberger organizations, etc. I also wrote a Leonberger book, which I am featuring in the sidebar.
Smorgasbord Blog Magazine shares Superfact number 19 and my Leonberger Dog Book
Please take a look at Smorgasbord Blog Magazine’s feature of my super fact #19 “An account impersonating you on Facebook does not mean you have been hacked“, and my Leonberger Dog book “The Life and Times of Le Bronco von der Löwenhöhle”.
My name is Thomas Wikman. I am a software/robotics engineer with a background in physics. I am currently retired. I took early retirement. I am a dog lover, and especially a Leonberger lover, a home brewer, craft beer enthusiast, I’m learning French, and I am an avid reader. I live in Dallas, Texas, but I am originally from Sweden. I am married to Claudia, and we have three children. I have two blogs. The first feature the crazy adventures of our Leonberger Le Bronco von der Löwenhöhle as well as information on Leonbergers. The second blog, superfactful, feature information and facts I think are very interesting. With this blog I would like to create a list of facts that are accepted as true among the experts of the field and yet disputed amongst the public or highly surprising. These facts are special and in lieu of a better word I call them super-facts.

Yes you are right. Hacking requires some technical skill, or trickery, but copying someone’s info and using it in a new fake account is child’s play, so it happens a lot more often.
Thank you so much Pete. Yes impersonating someone is very easy and it happens a lot. Some times it is silly kids and sometimes it is people trying to get personal information from your friends.
Thank you so much Luisa. It is a common misunderstanding that you have been hacked when someone is copying you, but copying is so easy to do, no hacking required. However, you can always report them.
Thanks for boosting the post Thomas and it certainly got the conversation started. Looking forward to sharing other posts in the series in coming months… xx

Thanks, Thomas. I just finished reading your informative post. Since this has happened to me a few times, I may have to take some steps to stop it.
