HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS HAPPEN TO THEM.  I WENT TO ENTER ONE OF THE FACEBOOK SWEEPS AND IT GAVE ME THIS STATEMENT WHEN I WENT TO LOG IN: 

Your account has been temporarily suspended.

A malicious person posted a number of login credentials from various websites on a public forum. Your email was found in this list. As a security precaution your account has been temporarily suspended. You will be able to regain access to your account by completing a number of steps designed to protect your account.

It is likely that your login credentials were compromised as a result of entering your password on a website designed to look like Facebook or another familiar website. This type of attack is known as phishing. If you use the same login and password combination in multiple places on the internet, you should make sure to check all your accounts to make sure they have not been compromised.


I WENT TO A NEW WINDOW AND TRIED AND IT STILL GAVE ME THE SAME STATEMENT.  ANYONE KNOW HOW TO GET BACK IN -- I ONLY USE FOR SWEEPS.  I AM NOT MUCH OF A FACEBOOK PERSON

I RESTARTED MY COMPUTER AND IT STILL SAYS THE SAME THING.  I CANNOT LOG INTO MY FACEBOOK ACCOUNT.  IT IS A GOOD THING THAT MY IMPORTANT SITES (BANK, CREDIT CARD, AND PAYPAL DO NOT HAVE THE SAME PASSWORD; HOWEVER, I AM CHANGING THEM ANYWAY.

There is a program called "Trusteer Rapport" that will protect your log ins. It was designed to work primarily with bank and credit card log-ins but it also works with any website where you want to protect your log-in information.

Makes it virtually impossible for some one to use your log-on identity on another computer other than your own.
