    facebook will never send you any password update links.So if you find any fishy mails never reply to them.Never put your password any where .

    facebook can be hacked with primary email address used to create facebook account.

    normally facebook hackers take control over primary email address and recover facebook passwords

    another popular way is, phishing attack which is now a days well popular

    If you are using http:// instead of https:// then first of all change it through account setting > account security.
    https:// provides secure browsing of fb and it can also prevent fb of being hacked. so use this.

    Thanks

    Never click on anything that is suspicious looking. And if you see the same message appearing on many posts on the "recent posts" of the Home Wall - it probably means there is a virus going around.
