There are reports of
a potential Facebook security risk resulting from a Facebook passwords list that
could be sold.
The Facebook password list, believed to maybe the result of a phishing attack or
other malware attack, could be used to access and compromise user accounts.
Concerned Facebook users should consult the Facebook Security
page for more information.
If you feel you may have been compromised then you should contact Facebook
immediately. Refer to the Facebook Security page for more information.
We suggest that all users should at the very least reset their Facebook
passwords as soon as practical, and monitor their Facebook accounts for suspicious
activity.
Your Facebook Password security is your front line defense and your password on
Facebook should be kept secure.
Facebook users should use strong passwords and change them regularly. In
fact this is generally good practice for all accounts.
Facebook has some good tips for passwords on their site.
Users should also be wary of the potential for Facebook phishing
attacks that may try to trick users out of their passwords.
Use caution when accessing messages and their links and remember it is also
part of Facebook's Terms to keep your password safe.
