1. Allowing Facebook applications like Facebook Chat v2.0, Constitution and many other social applications in Facebook allows the hackers community to make a gateway to enter your PC and to your FB account.
2. Facebook do not send you links that do not come from their domain. Even if the link looks safe, don’t trust it.
3. If the site has a security update or is wanting more information, chances are after you login they will ask for it. Remember if it seems fishy or not quite right, don’t do it.
4. Be sure that you add only known people to your profile and do not allow any random applications to your profile.
5. Also change the privacy settings of your FB page so that you allow only your friends to view in your profile.
