I wish to inform you that in case your employer have broken your password and has assessed your account then it is hacking and is not allowed. If the access of your facebook account is being accessed without your permission then it is illegal and invasion of your privacy. Your employer may terminate you for professional work but that does not allow your employer to invade your privacy and access your facebook account. You can take action against your employer for invasion of your facebook account and other employees facebook account. However if your employer has only viewed your profile from his facebook account then it is allowed and it is not an offence.

I don't think the OP implied the account was hacked, but was not entirely clear. If by "facebook activity" you mean any activity that was done using your employer's computer and the activity was logged with a webfilter or other monitoring software of sorts, your employer has every right to view that activity and take action if it violates company policy.

Could you be more specific?

So long as your boss didn't actually "hack" your account, but rather viewed what you have put out there for the world to see, you are SOL - regardless of whether it was accessed by you at work or home.

People have to realize that what you put in the public domain is available to everyone. Many prospective employers check social networking sites, Twitter, etc., to gain insight before choosing to hire.

These internet websites have quickly become fodder for employment dismissal and refusal.

People need to understand that anything and everything they put on these websites are open to the public for viewing, and everything contained can affect their professional lives.

You give anyone and everyone permission to access your account when you sign up for it and start filling it with self directed information.

Very good point, Kinyodas. Employers have every right to monitor their employee's computers.

Employees should not be using company time for personal reasons. That included playing games on the computer while at work, utilizing personal email, instant messaging, chatting in chat rooms, and playing on myspace, facebook, twitter, etc. websites. It is the employer's time and they are paying for it.
