    I think no site is fully secure, so we can't say that a particular site is fully safe but ya as per their security standards we can trust on them.

    Hmmm! I wonder if that's changed because last I looked at that it seemed to limit log-in's to certain devices. Either the option has changed a bit or I was cracked last time I looked at it. Thanks for the reminder that it's there, I just activated it.

    It really depends on how the account was hacked. Was it through an overly obvious password? A keylogger virus? Until we know the exact cause, we can't ascertain if Facebook is at fault here.

    Any thing can get hacked in the web, No site can give 100% safety to users .

    No site can be absolutely safe. Better not to save important information, such as credit card password in Facebook.

    It's very secure. Hacking of his account wasn't really a hack, it was an inside job.

    Security of account depends on the user so better not to put vital information or yet change your privacy setting.

    facebook is not so secure as we think .
    so many third party agencies are targeting on the users data like name, age phone number and even address

    Depends on how the user keeps his data safe , if he follows most of the security rules then its quite easy to keep our account safe and facebook is no different.

    As facebook is a social networking site and it is generally used for communicating others about yourself and concerned things. It is not perfectly safe and secure, however, the restrictions are available and these can be used to ensure the proper security measures.

    They will probably hire the hacker. Because, the hacker helped them show the holes in the system...

    As I know Facebook is not very safe, i wasn't safe before too. one of my friends hacked about 10+ facebook accounts in 2008, those accounts belonged to his friends, and after hacking he gave the accounts to them back.
