Most sites are pretty easy to hack, and almost all of the big ones are susceptible
to a simple brute force attack, so any reasonably competent cracker can get into
your Facebook. Aside from cracking Facebook itself, "social engineering" attacks
such as sending you a personalized phish will normally work. I personally used another
technique on myspace the other day as part of an investigation. I sent the target a
myspace message containing certain HTML and IE security holes did the rest. So
a competent cracker has at least three different categories of methods they can use,
each of which will work at least half the time.
Note I said that any reasonably competent cracker can do it. Do not assume that any
government employee is reasonably competent. Occasionally a government employee
will at least be competent enough to bring in a private person who knows their shit.
Law enforcement has called us twice. Remember, though, this is the intelligence level
of the most important government official in the world :

taxpayer with another $3,000 of debt and give that 5.2 billion dollars to ACORN,
my former employer who has repeatedly been convicted of criminal activity.

That's our #1 guy, the top of the heap. I don't figure his underlings are any brighter.
