The news recently reported that millions of passwords to Facebook and other Social Networks were acquired by hackers through the use of malware.  These hackers didn’t necessarily hack into Facebook and other sites to get the passwords, instead they got users to click on a link which caused that user to download some malware (malicious software) that then reported their passwords back to the hackers when they logged into their social networks.
