Default Should I Be Worried? - One for the Security Experts

Hi all,

I've just signed into my facebook account to find this...



Does this mean for definite that someone has signed into my account? It couldn't be some kind of mistake? And if so, how would they have gone about doing that? Is there anything I should be doing now like changing passwords for everything else?

I'm just running Malwarebytes anti-malware at the moment.

A mate of mine put up a post (on Facebook ironically) that his account had been hacked and last used in the States. Not sure what the resolution was.

A few people suggesting on that link that it only means someone may have 'tried' to access it. Certainly hope that's the case, although as I said, I've changed the password now to something totally random.

Nothing appears to have been changed or anything. Can't even think why someone would want into my facebook account... nothing of any interest there. Unless it's the FBI on to me about that stalking thing?

Seems to be a lot of "hacking" of Facebook accounts at the moment, I know a few people who have had their accounts hacked. First sign is normally that "you" start sending out loads of spam links to all your friends.

I received a message this morning from someone I don't know wanting to be friends. Photo was of some fit hottie trying to entice you in, but I just ignored it and deleted it without opening the message.
