Facebook on your iPhone? Set a password!

As with the page before, your phone could leave you vulnerable to a Facebook hack attack. With Facebook for Nokia devices, iPhone's and BlackBerry's, many of us now have our social network on the go with us wherever we are. If you leave your phone on the table in the pub while you nip for a pee, not only is there a massive temptation for the other pub-goers to text your rather attractive sister, but if your Facebook is on screen, that is a far higher prize. Lock your phone with a password when you nip out for a smoke or a pee, or just take it with you.
