Facebook is rampant with Cybercrime
and is only getting worse as more people start using it
And this is old news:

The most current scam is Firesheep which is a Firefox addon that anyone can install in their Firefox browser, & use it to hack into other Facebook accounts
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firesheep
The addon was actually developed with good intentions - to show how insecure facebook is, & force the developers of facebook to secure their site a little better.

To show you how easy it is to Hack into your facebook account, you can install the addon here

There is a way to find out if someone is using Firesheep to try to hack into your facebook account, or any insecure account for that matter. It is called BlackSheep

This will not work on Internet Explorer, you have to be using Firefox.
