How to Lock Down Your Facebook Account?

i really have no idea on protecting the privacy of facebook and i really am eager to know how since i am a member of facebook too. i hope some mylotters here could share how.

The best advice I could give is not to get too personal on facebook. never put your info out there and also put privacy settings on everything (pics,comment acceptance etc.).

As the most popular social networking website, its the most popular hacking sites for hackers too. Facebook is constantly updating their security to protect us from these people, but still some manages to get into our account. Have seen several programs used to hack one's account and have tried it too and work. After a while Facebook detected it and found put a counter security for this program. You can never protect your privacy in Facebook or any other social sites but you can be careful and cautious enough not to divulge any important information about yourself.

My tip on protecting privacy would be don't put a lot of personal information in your profile sections, be careful what you mention to "your friends" or people who can see your wall and profile if it's public and not private. A lot of times people don't realize how much access other people have to their information and than they don't really have anyone to blame for their misfortunes but themselves.

My profile is private on Facebook and I only talk to people I actually know from work, previous jobs, school and family. It's my favorite website for social networking but I'm very careful with the information I provide. To be honest, a lot of older people who use the Internet don't notice a scam when they see one, especially when money is involved. They'll get e-mails and things of that nature that say "you've won" or "we need this information" and they provide it because they don't know any better. This is why spam messages go in our spam section of our e-mail provider, or well most do.
