Related to the "security of a network":

one of my Facebook friends got his account compromised recently and a scam email was sent to many of his contacts. I think the scammer got the FB account somehow, and found the email of my friend as well as the emails of his FB friends shown on FB (like mine…).

It made me realize that your info on Facebook is as safe as the weakest account of your Facebook friends. I'm in control of my own passwords and make sure that all my passwords are different. But I can't control my friends' password policies, which are probably very weak overall.
