VKontakte blocks careless users
Today on VKontakte I receive a spam message from a person sitting in the next room, i.e. brother What I recommend him to change your password to a more complex one. He shrugged, changed his password and went on to produce his farm. But after a few minutes I hear the cries that he was blocked.
