Just before Facebook’s privacy blow up, the company announced that they were going to make the service more secure against hackers.  I encountered something that was undoubtedly a result of these new measures.  Below is what happened with my own account.  I logged in to see the following:

This type of monitoring seems to be as a result of all the successfully phishing and malware attacks targeted at Facebook users.

This screen is confusing.  Was my account accessed or was it just a login attempt?  I know I haven’t been phished.  And I’m pretty sure I don’t have any malware installed.

I take issue that Facebook made me go through all of that but wasn’t clear if my account was actually accessed.  I also question the effectiveness of this measure as I still see malware links on Facebook.

Has this happened to anyone else?
