Don't use those silly social networking websites.

All you can really do is make your password as hard as possible to crack, cause that is most likely how they got in. Good thing you got in before they got the password changed cause than you would have been totally screwed and would need to have call up Facebook to have them delete it.

Both Facebook and Myspace have tried taking my wife to a different server in another country that mimics these social websites when she clicks on a bugged link. These are unsafe servers, and thankfully I have extensions installed in FireFox that catches this. Who knows how many people are directed to these false servers that steal all ones information.

On a plus note, Facebook at least notices when you log in from an area you don't normally log in from. We are in Florida right now, and when she went to log in, Facebook asked to make sure she was who she really was since we are 400+ miles from where she always logs in from.

I know Google Gmail allows you to see which IPs you log in from. Facebook not do that? Would be easy to than find out who did this and than mess around with them!
