Facebook hacking

The Sunday Times (5/9/10) reported how gangs of fraudsters are hacking into Facebook accounts and then scamming their families and friends. They pretend that the person has had some problem (mugged, need to pay a fine, in financial difficulties, etc), and persuade their family or friends to send money - for example via Western Union. The Sunday Times website is a pay for option, but here are links to similar stories.
