My sister had her Facebook account taken over by a bot of some sort some years ago. It was odd – they changed her profile photo over time, so at first it was just the regular profile photo, then it was the regular profile photo with a little bit of a different profile photo sort of creeping in on top of it, like if they had pasted the new one into a photoshop layer. Over a few weeks the new profile photo crept up until it was the only one, and then it became a sort of "call me for hot fun" spam account. I assume they were sidestepping some sort of detection algorithm, but it happened during a time when she was losing her mind in real life so it was a strange kind of metaphor.
