In 2 Minutes – Your Facebook Account is HACKED

Posted on : 19-10-2009 | By : Ali Abdullah | In : General

An interesting report last year was on Click (BBC’s technology program) addressed a security flaw in Facebook that could compromise users’ personal information through the use of applications.

At that time BBC’s report simply accused Facebook security team for not doing enough security precautions and investigations against some malicious third parties applications pretend to look like a funny quiz or birthday greeting app but they’re silently collecting users data to do other illegal acts.

But now hackers seems went too far with that and definitely have made their way to facebook databases.

That means yes,

Your Facebook account can be stolen and TOTALLY HACKED in 2 minutes or even less.

I found this by coincidence when I did research since recently we’ve all seen strange status updates and strange activities on facebook, like a status saying (Hey I’ve made 2 Million Dollars by working with blablabla.com ) or (you’re invited to see how I look at blablabla2.com) and I was wondering how the hell 6 of my friends got hacked during this month?

Searching facebook.com I found a lot of complains like this one and I also found a contact form that one should submit to facebook if an account has been hacked.

3 months ago Facebook official blog posted an article about their actions and new tools to secure a compromised account. It can be found here.

Finally, I’m not gonna hide it. here is the hackers youtube video that show how easy is to get any facebook email and password using the user id number. If you have been a victim then don’t even bother changing your password because its not going to make any difference.

For those who are curious to try, I strongly do not recommend even trying to visit the hacker website.

The scary thing is the youtube username id who posted this video is called 007hackpaypal !!!

  • This is a first time topic here, no related posts yet
  • definitely there is a virus or trojan threat in the software and thats why its free to download otherwise he would have sell it for a price.

    and that's why I didn't recommend anyone trying it or even visiting their website because its obviously unsafe.

    But the question is, how did they got our friends' facebook accounts and started to post advertisements and and change profile statuses prior downloading any malicious software?
  • I believe the plot is a bit thinner than appears from the Youtube video you posted. People simply don't know just how much access they allow the applications they use everyday on Facebook, by allowing an application from an undtrusted source your actually allowing the creator to access sensitive personal information you assume will not be exposed. In addition to that, some applications actually request specific access to status updates, FB users simply don't notice.
  • I thought so first but it went beyond statues. I've seen spam wall postings and messages in addition to main issue of status updates. What does that mean? Check out my wall and you will find:
    "Asia Janabi wrote : I found my new job ;O) news44.org" and when I clicked on her profile page I found an activity stream full of such similar spam wall posting she made during the same minute!!! That was one recent example.
  • Dude did you try this? How do we know its not just a movie to get people to download the app (perhaps a trojan?), which in turn will steal my OWN password?
