FACEBOOK HACKED: Social Media Giant Admits Security Breach Affecting 50M Accounts, Due To Coding Vulnerability, 90M Accounts "Tokens" Reset
"Facebook has admitted having a “security issue” with nearly 50 million accounts which had their “access tokens” compromised. The social media giant has reset tokens for another 40 million accounts as a “precaution.”

The issue affected nearly 50 million accounts, which would require users to re-enter their passwords. The security issue was discovered by the company’s engineers on Tuesday. Hackers have been apparently able to fetch the so-called “access tokens” – digital keys, which allow a user to stay logged into Facebook and to not re-enter their passwords each time they use the application.

Damage done by the attack is yet to be evaluated, it remains unclear whether the affected accounts “were misused or any information accessed.” Source of the attack and who was behind it also remain unidentified, according to Facebook."

Could have been a bunch of unconnected people & or any group with basic coding knowledge. Facebook was technically the one at fault due to their sloppy coding that provided the vulnerability which anyone with basic skills could exploit if they were to stumble across it...

To those here who might use FB, if you were forcefully logged out then had to log back in. There's a 60% chance your account was breached at some point after FB "seemingly unknowingly" introduced the "vulnerability" into their own coding...

I wouldn't doubt it one bit if FB intentionally implemented this vulnerability within their own coding. Knowing it would eventually be discovered & would be simple to exploit without any advanced skills or technology...

Facebook says the security flaw has been fixed and it has informed police. In a statement it says "90 million people will now have to log back in to Facebook, or any of their apps that use Facebook Login

great. I do use it, its the only way to stay in touch with alot of old friends. But my pass is like 64 characters and I have MFA enabled, and lots of forums and things around the internet I use FB authentication (its just easier than registering new accounts everywhere) oh this will be fun.

Hopefully they informed the police on themselves as well...

It's too bad more people haven't caught onto MAFsocial, the first block-chain based social media.

Information can NEVER be deleted off of it. Parameters are in place to ensure no illegal content is shared that will simply 'mask/hide' illegal content



but most importantly, if this platform takes off, the next few generations will have pure access to information that would otherwise be deleted from the internet entirely



If you can, check out that company and see if you want to join to help the future. the company who made it is called makeafolio



i cant share links cuz i always get banned so i'm just telling you where to go
