IMHO The title of this thread is a little bit misleading. Facebook hasn't been hacked at all. Some users have been daft enough to hand over their password to an untrusted site. It's hardly surprising, most big site have this happen. there's not much you can do to prevent it.

The title of the original news article "Hackers launch phishing attack on Facebook users" is more accurate and less sensationalist.
