My facebook password hacked
Does anyone know how this is done,it's the second time this has happened to me?
Re: My facebook password hacked
Probably a key logger, or someone who knows your username, and has asked for a password reminder, or simply a lucky guess. They must be desperate if they need to hack a Facebook page, I mean who fucking cares what people write about on that site.

Re: My facebook password hacked
Many of us have hotmail or googlemail accounts.
Suppose our hotmail address was rooney@hotmail.com and our password was football.
We then register for a web site (Tesco, Amazon etc).
Many web sites now get you to use your email address to log on, so you use rooney@hotmail.com. For that web site you use the SAME password as you use for your email: football.
So every time you logon to that web site you are "giving away" your email address and email password.
Of course sites like Tesco and Amazon can be trusted, but if you sign on to some other web sites they may "borrow" your email address and password and use it to log on to your email system or your facebook account.
So one rule is:
DONT use the same password to logon to your email as you use to logon to web sites.
If you keep them different if someone from a web site does "borrow" your email address and password they WONT be able to log on to your email system.
Of course they may still be able to log on to facebook if you use the same email address and password combination there.
