Commissar SFLUFAN Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 The company discovered the breach earlier this week, finding that attackers had exploited a feature in Facebook’s code that allowed them to take over user accounts.

Spawn_of_Apathy Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 I deactivated my FB over 5 years ago. I bet I am safe, but it is good to know the company is hard at work meaningfully trying to improve their reputation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSoxFan9 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 https://boingboing.net/2018/09/29/when-outliers-attack.html Quote When news broke yesterday that Facebook had suffered a breach affecting at least 50,000,000 users, Facebook users (understandably) began to widely share links to articles about the breach. The articles were so widely and quickly shared that they triggered Facebook's spam filters, which blocked the most popular stories about the breach, including an AP storyand a Guardian story.
