What to do when your Facebook account is hacked !

Here are a few easy tips on how NOT to get hacked on FB, and, if you do, what steps to take:
- Avoid clicking on any links/URLs within Facebook that don't start with www.facebook.com. These are not authorized by the FB team.
- If you do get hacked, immediately sign out of FB. Then email privacy@facebook.com. Someone will get back to you (give them at least 9 hours :) )
- I would recommend *not* immediately changing your PW or trying to contact your friends to let them know (by Facebook, that is). This could lead to additional spam, etc - since you don't know the extent of the damage done, best not to accelerate anything that might already be doing damage. Also, the FB team will automatically reset your PW for you when you contact them, once they know everything is okay with your account.
- Update your PROFILE message by your cell phone to let folks know not to click on the link you may have sent them. Also email which ones you can via something different than FB.
- If you get a random posting on your wall from someone you know - and it doesn't sound like something they would be say - don't click on it. It's probably spam.Here are a few easy tips on how NOT to get hacked on FB, and, if you do, what steps to take:
