Think my POF account was hacked

    So, as the title says, I think my POF account was hacked. I went into the app today and had a load of messages. Before reading them, I noticed that my photos had all been deleted, and some details on my profile were changed, ie. first name, religion, job. I started reading the messages, and some referred to the changed first name, some had things like 'nice ass/body' etc. All of my original photos were just normal face ones, one or two full length, but absolutely no nudes or anything like that. So I was wondering why I was getting a lot of those types of messages all of a sudden. I scrolled down and saw a message from the POF team, an automated one I'd say, that said my photo was not approved.

    I think it's likely I was hacked so? I've deleted my account - I suppose that that's all I can do? I'm just worried that my original photos were still up when the (potentially) nude one(s) was/were also up. And if there was no face in the nude one(s), then people will have thought that it was me. Absolutely cringing. It's a bit scary if my account was indeed hacked!
