Check the url whenever you login
Check for the url in the address bar and login only if it says www.facebook.com. Often hackers use fake login pages (phishing) and when you login through that page, your password and username is automatically redirected to them.
Unique Password
Pick a unique, strong password. Change your Facebook password as often as possible, especially if you find any suspicious activity on your wall and don’t give your username and password to anyone, not even your friends.Don’t share you password not even with your close friends, colleagues and family member.
Beware of Fake Emails
Don’t forget that good web services will never ask you to do certain things in an email. For example, Facebook will NOT send you an email asking you to change your password or enter personal details. If they need you to do that, they will tell you where in your account settings you can go to do that. On a similar note, protect your email account that you registered for Facebook with, else someone can succeed in resetting your Facebook password.
