More Than 50Millions of Facebook Account Got Hacked on 25th-September-2018
Facebook detected on Friday 50 millions of Facebook accounts got hacked
and stolen. On Tuesday engineers of Facebook company got confused 'what
is happening' and then they actually realized that the accounts are got
hacked by attackers.
Facebook has recovered most of the Facebook accounts on Friday and still they are working on it.
Hackers exploited three issued with the facebook:
(1) The first bug incorrectly offered users a video uploading option
within certain posts that enables people to wish their friends 'Happy
Birthday,' when accessed on "View As" page.
(2) The second bug was in the video uploaded that incorrectly
generated an access token that had permission to log into the Facebook
mobile app, which is otherwise not allowed.
(3) The third bug was that the generated access token was not for you as the
viewer, but for the user that you were looking up, giving attackers an
opportunity to steal the keys to access an account of the person they
were simulating.
The vulnerabilities exploited by the hackers are fixed:
The vulnerabilities exploited by the hackers are fixed, and Facebook is working with the FBI to investigate the security incident, which has impacted approximately 2.5% of Facebook users of its over 2 billion user base.Since the investigation is still in the early stages, Facebook has yet to determine whether the attackers misused the stolen access tokens for 50 million accounts or if any information was accessed.
