Facebook Password Hack

I wanted to write about this because I know a lot of people are concerned about this issue.

Can/How someone steal your Facebook Password ?
After all my research on this the answer is NO! they cannot unless you give it to them, email, fax, mail or they are looking over your shoulder. But they can go

THAT DOESN'T STOP THEM FROM GOING PHISHING FOR IT:

Now there is some trickery involved where they can have access. Facebook has worked really hard to prevent these things from happening so their security is pretty tight.

One way someone can get your password is by using a fake link also known as PHISHING basically you are typing your username and password into a website that looks like facebook.com but it really is now a PHISHING site and your hooked!, if you look in the address bar aka the URL at the top of your web browser, were you type http:// the link will show something suspicious witch does not end on facebook.com for example a fishing site would use something like facebook.gamesafer.com if you look at the link it doesn't have facebook.com.

Facebook tries to prevent you from clicking on links like this by warning you that you are leaving facebook.com However if the PHISHING spammer aka stalker sends a email message a link to you using another service facebook will not be able to warn you.

So when you type your user name and a password it fails and then you are redirected to the correct facebook.com site making it almost impossible for you to realize that you have now sent your password to someone.

things to look out for is the https:// and also the facebook.com in the URL and you should be safe.
Facebook also keeps your session open for about 15 minutes
and browsers also save your password this means the person will not know your password but they will have access to your account, so when your browser prompts you for "do you want explorer to remember password" keep in mind you have now saved it so anyone that goes online can also login.
