is obviously the next big trend to sweep the e-criminal world...
I mean the days of people spending their time establishing workable hotmail cracks went on for a long time, and will continue, but facebook opens up so many more doors for these goons, so many.
Naturally facebook's servers will be very strong indeed, so what these crackers will be looking to do most of the time is (1) make "facebook applications" which enable them to crack you - facebook can try to stop them but it probably won't always succeed, (2) use ordinary "keylogging" techniques to steal your password... nobody treats their facebook login the same way as their bank login - people are slacker, so crackers will find ways to trip them up.
Already there's apparently a tonne of these fake facebook emails asking you presumably to log in on a false page so that you hand your login details directly to a criminal, but I'm sure they'll find cleverer ways. That didn't work much on me since I did not have a facebook account on the email address I got those spam/cracker mails on! Sometimes these goons do make you laugh.
The reason I thought of all this now is that I was looking at a lot of cracker trails inside my server, naturally they don't get in, but their trails are constantly monitored and captured, and looking at the usernames and approaches to brute-forcing they are taking I couldn't help thinking that these mofos are almost certainly going to go wild when the first few foolproof facebook hacks started spreading among them in their sordid cracker-dens.
