If you're a Facebook user (shudder), cancel your membership.....now. Professional goons hacked my email account through that god-awful site, but because I use the same method bagginsbill described to protect myself, the damage was minimal.

A friend of mine Todd, wasn't so cautious, or fortunate. Thanks to the Facebook lurkers, his life was a living hell for four or five weeks. Then he got gob smacked again by the Playstation security collapse. That hit didn't do any real harm, but he had to renew all his credit cards to play it safe. I wonder how many customers Sony lost because of that fiasco?
