Hacking scare on Facebook

Just had a hacking scare on FB. I followed a link, she is soo busted, and when I got as far as a request to fill in an online questionaire, I became suspicious and opted out. On trying to change my password, I found that my old password was not recognized. I logged off Facebook and logged in again with the same password. Something had been compromised, so I went through the help procedure and followed the five step procedure on my by then suspended account. I completed it, as well as changing my other online email addresses' passwords.

I am still not certain that my account had been hacked, but to be on the safe side I followed the procedure..

How picked the problem up was by being told on-site that a friend had sent the link, when in fact she had not sent it.

Anyway, an interesting and involved experience.
