Default facebook password security breach???

Recently heard something about how there was a security leak that allowed access to users' personal info.
For those of you who might participate on that site, a brief change of your password ought to do the trick. Google about it for yourself, then be sure to get over and change your password. A couple minutes will be worth it!

Hey, 4roses! Good bet! I don't use the site, but my daughter does. I wanted to send out a "heads up" to those who might be keeping in touch with their loved ones on there. I hope folks see this, and follow your lead! The thing I saw said that advertisers may have had access to personal information, but changing the password now would cancel out all previously set ones.
Hope it saves folks a lot of trouble!

Facebook has had problems with viruses in the past. Seems they've pretty well licked that. But, MSN and AOL have been hacked in recent months. A few of us had been getting blank emails from our contacts that they didn't send. so I'm not surprised that facebook is a target again. And, those whose names and personal information may have been gotten, there could be a Mexican crossing the boarder right now with cards carrying that information.... And, about 200 pounds of dope.
