16. Yes, your cousin has been indeed hacked! She's not alone, either.

Your cousin isn't the first to have her account "like" Mitt Romney's page without her permission. It happened to me and I have a super-strong Facebook password and experience in network security.

When I discovered I had been switched, I checked my Facebook Activity Log. One's Activity Log has a record of EVERYTHING ever done with one's Facebook account. Curiously, the log recorded me "unliking" Romney's page but did not record me ever liking it, though clearly was now a fan. My guess is that some process external to the usual Facebook channels is making this change to random Facebook users. That's why the activity log has no entry. Whether Facebook knows about this or not I will leave up to the reader.
