I don't have a Facebook account but upon reading this, a FaceBooker would say :



Brah, my password is soo epic that not even a hacker can hack it.



In reality, his password is :
His phone number.....

Are you sure its hacked? If there's a malicious app in facebook and people use it, out of which the app gets access to do whatever in the person's facebook profile then its not hacking.

This wasn't in the news, but Times of India was under enormous pressure when they published online stating that facebook's 6 Lakhs account was hacked. Within a day's time TOI re-written their article and changed their headline, but a part of original headline can be seen easily. on the URL I am not sure if Digit follows in, but Press Council of India already did say that a lot of reporters are publishing stuff to create sensationalism but in reality that is damaging the Indian press' credibility. Again, are you sure its hacked?

Sad, established media entities are the new sources of inaccurate news/rumour mills.

I mentioned elsewhere, but it wasn't "hacked". It was voluntary spam spread by people clicking on the darn links.

And oh yeah, the whole 60lakh / 2L in Bangalore was conjured up by idiots who picked up a random number.

@ CPG: Yeah you said it on chip. But there was a very long discussion about this in twitter between 1-2 bloggers, medianama, Times Group journos (apparently even TOI and Times group journos have started mudslinging eachother), labnol and readers. If things like this is put up not only then not only guys like FB will sue media, but rival media will bash eachother and loose credibility.

Right off the assembly line
I heard it also . I think it must be the work of some in the corporate sector . Because hacking facebook is not a simple task . One require a lot of resourses which can only a big company can provide .. And why it is that accounts from the bangalore are attacked. is there any connection of the bangalore with this attack .

FFS.


IT. WAS. NOT. A. HACK.


There was no hacking, neither was there any "company" involved neither was any city targeted.

See semi-looks-like-porn pic. Watch desperate people click to get free porn. Spam spreads. That's all it was, nothing else.

Well I receive too much regular spam in my FB inbox asking me to join various apps, messengers, etc.
They are all auto generated. People should really think twice before clicking "Allow access"
