*sigh* when will people learn? Of course Facebook is gonna be a big target for crooks, and cybercriminals. People need to know that when things become too popular, hackers/cybercriminals tend to target them. They don't care who you are. They just want your personal/financial info for their personal/financial gain. I'm so glad that I never feel for this trap (obtaining a FaceBook account). Nor do I do Twitter, or MySpace, or any social-networking at all really. Nor do I manage finances or bank online (except when I shop on Amazon) which is another big target for scammers & phishers. WinCustomize and Amazon are the only sites I use to voice my opinions on the web (excluding e-mail).
And as for passwords, people need to at least alter TWO or more characters for each and every password (doesn't matter which ones), so that way it's not completely different to the point of not remembering or getting confused. Don't make your passwords anything obvious, like any English words (or commonly used words from other languages). Just putting in my two cents.

good link to bad 90% ok I'll go down to 70% of internat usesers will still do it
I use a different Password for every site and DON"T uses words that are in the dictionary or dates
I use upper and lower case letter Aa symbols $# and Numbers 19 and at lest 6 carictures long 8 or more is better
a good tip is if you use a router change the defult password and hide yourself and if you don't have a router get one just a software firewall is not enough you need a Hardware firewall to thats a router.
