    Hi I have a profile in a social network that is hacked. How do they do that? How do I remove the hack? Also is it possible for our websites to be hacked?

    The password is protected. They somehow get over the pages and put either a javascript or php code into my pages. The whole profile page is inaccessible. I saw many such pages on friendster too. I wonder why these social networks are so insecure.

    change passwords right away and yes websites can easily be hacked given the nature of the site and what it's built on.

    These websites aren't hacked. Only thing hacked is your own account.

    Contact the sites with the personal details you used to register the account.
    If you used fake details you never owned the account in the first place & just got beat at your own game.
