Default Beware on Facebook

Just a warning that Facebook is not a secure site. Just this last weekend I got an e-mail from Facebook telling me that someone had accessed my Facebook account from Texas. I was not in Texas nor do I know anyone who lives there. I have very tight privacy controls on Facebook so I don't know how anyone could have gotten my user name and password. I could understand it if I had spyware on my computer but Norton scans come up clean except for a few cookies. I left Facebook a year or so ago because I was worried about security. I do not have a good feeling about this web site, considering that it was this easy to get into my account?? I have enjoyed playing games there and connecting with friends and family, but right now I am not feeling it's worth it. Has anyone else had a similar, scary experience on Facebook?
