Wayoi.Com - According to Elinor Mills in her article on Deja vu: New scams hit Facebook and Twitter Other safe computing tips from Facebook:

1. Use an up-to-date browser that features an anti-phishing black list. Some examples include Internet Explorer 8 or Firefox 3.0.10.

2. Use unique logins and passwords for each of the Web sites you use.
3. Check to see that you're logging in from a legitimate Facebook page with the facebook.com domain.

4. Be cautious of any message, post, or link you find on Facebook that looks suspicious or requires an additional login.

5. It is important that impacted users reset all accounts (not just Facebook) that use the same credentials. We believe the bad guys here are phishing an account and then trying those credentials on webmail providers. So, for example, if a user is compromised on Facebook and has the same login and password for their Gmail, the attacker may be able to intercept the Facebook password reset and compromise the account again in the future. This is one of the reasons why people need unique passwords for their online accounts.

6. Become a fan of the Facebook Security Page for more updates on new threats as well as helpful information on how to protect yourself online.

It takes only several minutes to apply the tips. But it all depend on you, take it or leave it. Make your account safer or insecure it there.
