    And this is why I never allow FB access to my gmail accounts and other sensitive info.

    What does a hacker accomplish by hacking Facebook accounts?

    I mean if it was phishing Paypal, or eBay yeah they.. maybe could get somewhere. Hacking facebook is a joke. Plus there are thousands of phishers on Myspace and Facebook right now. Just not on such a large scale as this from what it sounds.

    Actually,the hacker hack the FB account and then they will sell the FB account that have joined some games such as poker to interested party for some fee.
    While they don't have PP coz PP have better security than social networking site.
