    Facebook has a page you can subscribe to called "Facebook Security". You will get notices about everything going on and information about how to manage the amount of information you want to share, from virtually nothing to pretty much everything.

    I had someone that hacked into my facebook account earlier this month. I went in and changed my password and made security updates.

    My fave quote from an article on that facebook profile database:

    "Bowes’ actions also mean people who had set their privacy settings so their names did not appear in Facebook’s search system can now be found if they were friends with anyone whose name was searchable."
