    Between all of the credit card companies, Sony with the Playstation Network and now facebook....it's no longer called private data...it's simply called your data.

    The suggestion is to change your FB password.

    Who's to say they didn't this time?

    accidentally left a door open for advertisers to access profiles
    And somebody 'accidentally' left money in an account.


    The way these companies treat information, I wouldn't be at all surprised if it was an purposeful 'accident'.

    This is why I don't have a Facebook account. To many "accidental" security issues.

    In This Article you can find how to Permanently Delete a FB account if you want. no quick delete button, you'll need to wait 2 weeks and NOT login from anywhere.

    LOL..An entry from a facebooker says it all...
    "THIS IS THE WORST VIRUS EVER TO HIT FACEBOOK!!! A New virus on FB!!!...The ASTC Virus (Ass Stuck to Chair) The virus glues you to your chair for several hours! No housework will be done, children will starve and the dog will not get its walk. You're likely to lose all contact to the outside world. Put this on your status - It may be too late for most, but you might save a few!!!!"
