This is the 3rd time that I noticed that some people are opening my Facebook account and changing the password. I can't find anything interesting about my own page.
Why are they interested in my account?
Have you experience this?

People are curious of what you do and how well you might be doing in your life. If this has happened for the third time, I think that you should link your Facebook Account to a new email address that would be strictly for Facebook so that whoever those hackers are would no longer be able to access your account.

So better make a unique alphanumeric password for your email and Facebook. And also, if your need to have security questions, make something that is not common among the people that you know.

Yah! I changed my email and this is also the third time. The first one was just like a bubble that disappear because I suddenly can't open it, the second was the one that's been hacked for 3 times and then yesterday I changed it again because I found out that my facebook have been used by someone else.

Yes, I'm sure my new password is too complicated so it can't be easily hacked.

I haven't experienced it but my friends and mom did. It is mostly happen when they are using facebook in some public internet cafes. I don't know why they're so fund of getting nosy to someone's account like deleting pics, changing passwords and commenting people so rude and mean. Maybe its fun for them and I don't like it.

I don't like it too! I used public internet just like 2 weeks ago but I didn't save my password with computers like that and as I saw the last location where my FB was logged in wasn't from that shop, it's a different location. I don't know how they've done that but it's not funny at all.

the most likely reason is that you used public internet. Keyloggers (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keylogger ) are programmed fairly easily these days and if several people have access to a computer and one of them is a criminal it's easy from him/ her to install that Keylogger software on that computer. Later the person just checks what has been typed by others and he can find passwords, messages etc that have been saved by the keylogger. Another reason why your facebook account could be hacked would be that you use easy and short passwords or someone installed a hidden camera to film the screen. Hence I'd not advice you to use public computers for confidential information.

I never experience my facebook account nor my emails being hacked. Perhaps there are people who are familiar with your account and password and that is why they can access them. The only time I have encountered some problems online is when my credit card was utilized to purchased by a person I don't even know. I came to know if this since the credit card company blocked my card since someone tried to purchase using my card providing the wrong information.
