What is the best way to prevent my Facebook Account from being hacked?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

M$• Do not give your password to anyone
• Use passwords that are not so easy to remember. A combination of number and letters is a better way of getting a strong password.
• Do not accept friendship requests from anyone you do not know. If you feel the person might know you for real, then send the person a personal message and ask him/her to give more information about themselves that can make you remember them.
• Change your privacy settings. You can determine what people should see when they search for you. Sometimes hackers could get your information through your friends profile so it would be better to only allow your friends to see your list of friends.
• Go to the account settings of your facebook account and say ‘’yes’’ to receive notifications for logins from new devices. This will help facebook alert you when someone tries to open your account from another computer.
• Never click a link from an email to access your facebook account. Always make sure you visit the site on your own and not through a link.
Hope this helps.

M$These are the best ways to prevent your facebook account from being hacked:
1. Be sure that you choose a strong password that are composed of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers and symbols and ideally it should have 14 characters. And avoid putting personal information like your birthday, address or age.
2. Be sure that your computer is free of virus and spyware. And if you are using computers outside your home don't click the option to remember password and be sure to log out completely.
3. Use Firefox web browser because it has strong security and it is one of the best ways to use when surfing the net.
4. Use the privacy settings of facebook to control what information you want to be visible on your profile and who can see this information.
5. Avoid posting photos and private information if you don't want other people to see or know about it.
6. Always be vigilant and constantly check your account and see if there are unusual posting, comments or bulletin posts. If you have seen posts that you don't remember putting, there is a big possibility that your account is hacked.
7. Avoid clicking any link posted in the message, comments or bulletin because this is a way of hacker to use and get information from you. You might be directed to a window that look like Facebook and ask to relog and you fall for it and have divulge your email address and password.

M$I explained to the kids that many scammers make up fake emails and may ask for your to verify your account or password. NEVER give out your password, even if you believe the email is real. Facebook has no reason to ask to verify your password. Go straight to Facebook official site and see if there is a problem, if you still do not know, try to get help there.
Lastly I told the kids to pick unique passwords and change them on occasion. Their birthdate is not good as a password. Something unique, that NO ONE would be able to guess or figure out.
It is also a good idea to change and update the password from time to time. http://www.flickr.com/photos/virusno/3628240019/
