change your passwords regularly.

Change your password a lot and don't click on anything that doesn't look legit. If several people are posting the same ad or story, don't click it. They've probably been hacked.

Create passwords that are at least 12 characters long and contain lower-case letters, Upper-case-letters, numbers AND special characters. It should be a random variety of these things without meaning. Also change the password regularly.

go to the privacy setting and put a security code connected to your mobile number. anytime you sign in into a new browser or from another device it asks a code that they will send through your phone.

change ur password regularly...
don't click on any links..like any advt link or any spam..
whenever u type in url see that ur url has "https://www....." but not http.
don't open ur account though a link that will redirect to facebook(i mean whenever u want to open type manually)

all you can do is increase the security.
1. turn on log in notifications
2. turn on secured browsing
3. change passwords regularly
4. dont add unknown friends
5. dont click on unknown links while staying logged in.
6. you should hide primary email address
7. contact fb immediately if you see any unusual activity on your account.
8. give a password that is hard to crack or guess.
