How the heck a web designer to allow hacking of his own Facebook account ?

I think there is some bad spyware on your computer which steals all the data. Also maybe a hacker tried to vnc/remote desktop your computer and succeed.

So there are 5 possible cases:
-connecting to a Wi-fi which stole your fb pass
-spyware
-hacking
-phishing
-remote engeneering

The most popular ones i think are the first one and the second one. I would suggest to remove all your emails from FB , alternate emails , reset passwords everywhere , reinstall your PC....

I guess I'm one of the few hold outs that have not sighned up for face book. A few days ago I was visiting with a friend of mine, in person too, not on the computer, and she was telling me about another friend of theirs that works on computers. She said that at least half of his business comes from fixing up computers that got viruses from face book accounts. So until they make it safe to use, I'm not going anywhere near that site. I have enough computer problems as it is without going looking for them.

I haven't joined facebook either I feel a bit left behind but as long as you keep your software(java, flash, webbrowser, etc) you should be safe to use facebook if your using firefox try no script.
@OP I don't believe anyone has access to your credentials this sounds like a classic case of clickjacking

Yeah, it's unfortunate that FaceBook is so into implementing new features and new designs these days, that it simply overlooks how much it needs to scrutinize its existing applications. There's just so many holes in its security nowadays, but FaceBook is not alone in this. This seems to be the trend now.
