FCC Chariman Julius Genachowski fell victim to one of the many, many, many worms making its way through Facebook. His friends found themselves getting spammed from his account, so it got blocked. That's pretty rough, but just wait...

Julius Genachowski couldn't just get it switched back on. There's more to it than that:

“Users whose accounts have been compromised are put through a remediation process, where they must take steps to re-secure their account and learn security best practices. This is what happened with Chairman Genachowski’s account.”

Yeah-yeah, but shouldn't Facebook be learning a few security best practices, too?
