Colin Powell's Facebook page breached

Perps post out-of-character messages to Former US Secretary of State Colin Powell's  Facebook account. 

Apparently whoever broke into the account, did so to redistribute private photographs and emails previously stolen from the families of former presidents George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush.

The question is how Powell's Facebook page was compromised. The interesting question that cannot easily be answered is just *how* Colin Powell's Facebook account was hacked.

"The most likely answer is that his password was compromised - but if that is the case, was it compromised because it was poorly-chosen and thus easy to crack? Or was it perhaps that the very same password was being unwisely used elsewhere by Colin Powell, on a site that was cracked?

However the account was compromised, it might be time for Colin Powell to read up on password security."
