Hi there.. Is FaceBook safe? Is it safe enough from the hackers and is there anyway of cracking the user accounts? What do you think? I feel like not safe there.

I think it all depends on your privacy settings. If you have your profile viewable to everyone then you are more likely to get hacked , however if you limit the amount of information people who are not yur friends see then you are less likely to be hacked. I have mine set so that only people who are currently my friends can find my page. My name won't come up if you search me unless we're already friends.

I am on facebook too and sometimes I wonder like you are wondering if facebook is worth enough to put all our informations in it! Well once I got messages from someone who is not my friend, and he told me all my info which is visible to only those who are my friends so then I think he was maybe a hacker. These sites are not very trustworthy though. I have limited information there for me.
