Is it true? If so, it could be a disaster. Nowadays, people are highly involved in the Internet. Getting our passwords stolen may result in variety of serious trouble. For example, if you use the same password in the other websites, you may get those accounts unsafe. Oh, best wishes...

That is true. DONT USE THE SAME PASSWORD on other sites. I use this technic to have my password hard to find. If you have your password for example "qwerty" then for the websites i use i do this. Site name is yourdomain.com i use "yourdomain_qwerty" and like this you have unique password for every site.

Today my dad's facebook account can't be opened due to some virus. My brother's job is to remove virus but while checking my dad's laptop he could not determine what virus it is as he said it couldn't be detected. He tried to remove it by finding similar situation online. We have to be vigilant and careful with the files we're seeing on facebook. Some of the files we see on Facebook walls have virus.
