"While on Facebook, look at your URL address in the address bar; if you see http: instead of https: then you don't have a secure session and you can be hacked. Go to Account (top right corner) select "Account Settings" then choose "Account Security" and click Change. Check at least the first setting, otherwise FB defaults to the non-secure setting. Please Copy and re-post."

I wasn't aware of this and thought it might be of use to someone. Daz

Good one hadn't realised that, I changed a lot of my settings to be more security concious but missed that one.
