Facebook Linked Keys data

US computer security firm Symantec has said that Facebook accidentally left a door open for advertisers to access profiles, pictures, chat and other private data at the social network.
Facebook told AFP that there was no evidence anyone stepped through that door and swiped any information from the accounts of its more than 500 million members.
Symantec discovered that certain Facebook applications leaked tokens that act essentially as "spare keys" for accessing profiles, reading messages, posting to walls or other actions.
Facebook applications are Web software programs that are integrated onto the leading online social network's platform. Symantec said that 20 million Facebook applications, such as games, are installed every day.
"We appreciate Symantec raising this issue and we worked with them to address it immediately," Facebook said in response to an AFP inquiry.
The tokens were being leaked to third-party applications including advertisers and analytics platforms, allowing them to post messages or mine personal information from profiles, according to Nishant Doshi of Symantec.
"Fortunately, these third-parties may not have realized their ability to access this information," Doshi said in a blog post.
"We have reported this issue to Facebook, who has taken corrective action to help eliminate this issue."
Symantec estimated that as of April, nearly 100,000 applications were giving away keys to Facebook profiles.
"We estimate that over the years, hundreds of thousands of applications may have inadvertently leaked millions of access tokens to third parties," Doshi said.
Facebook confirmed the problem, which was discovered by Doshi and Symantec colleague Candid Wueest, according to the computer security firm.
But Facebook said the Symantec report had a few "inaccuracies."
There was no evidence that the problem resulted in private information being gleaned from Facebook members' accounts, according to the California-based social networking service.
"In addition, this report ignores the contractual obligations of advertisers and developers which prohibit them from obtaining or sharing user information in a way that violates our policies," Facebook said.
There was no reliable estimate of how many tokens have been leaked since the release of Facebook applications in 2007.
Despite whatever fix Facebook has put in place, token data may still be stored in files on third-party computers, Symantec warned.
"Concerned Facebook users can change their Facebook passwords to invalidate leaked access tokens," Doshi said.
"Changing the password invalidates these tokens and is equivalent to 'changing the lock' on your Facebook profile."

Journalists Page on Facebook

Facebook has launched a media resource page to help journalists use the social network as a reporting tool and better connect with their audience.
The "Journalists on Facebook" page is intended to be "an ongoing resource for the growing number of reporters using Facebook to find sources, interact with readers, and advance stories," Justin Osofsky, Facebook's director of media partnerships, said in a blog post.
"The page will provide journalists with best practices for integrating the latest Facebook products with their work and connecting with the Facebook audience of more than 500 million people," Osofsky said.
Facebook has been working with journalists since early 2010 to help make their content more social and Osofsky said the average media organization has seen referral traffic from Facebook soar over 300 percent since then.
Facebook also said it was launching a "Facebook Journalism Meetup" program with workshops on how to use Facebook as a reporting tool.
It said the first one will be held on April 27 at Facebook headquarters in Palo Alto, California.
Within hours of going up, the Journalists on Facebook page had received nearly 2,300 "likes."
Among those friending the page were CBS television news anchor Katie Couric, ABC's evening news anchor Diane Sawyer and ABC Sunday talk show host Christiane Amanpour, formerly of CNN.

$1Billion Sued to Facebook

Facebook and co-founder Mark Zuckerberg have been hit with a lawsuit seeking more than $1 billion in damages over a page on the social network which called for a "Third Intifada" against Israel.
Facebook this week shut down the "Third Intifada" page, which had almost 500,000 fans, but the lawsuit filed in a court here claims that the social network showed "negligence" by not quickly responding to appeals to remove the page.
Besides awarding damages, the complaint calls on the court to bar Facebook "from allowing the Facebook page titled 'Third Palestinian Intifada,' and other related and similar sites, which advocate violence and death to Jews."
The suit, a copy of which was obtained by technology blog TechCrunch, was filed in DC Superior Court by Larry Klayman, who describes himself in the complaint as "an American citizen of Jewish origin" who is "active in matters concerning the security of Israel and all people."
Klayman also identifies himself as the founder of Freedom Watch, whose website describes it as a political advocacy group dedicated to protecting privacy, free speech and other rights and "our national sovereignty against the incompetent, terrorist state-controlled United Nations."
Facebook dismissed the case as "without merit" and said it would fight.
"While we haven't been served with a complaint, we believe the case is without merit and we will fight it vigorously," a Facebook spokesman said.
Facebook shut down the page on Tuesday, several days after Israeli Public Diplomacy Minister Yuli Edelstein sent a letter to Zuckerberg urging him to remove it.
Facebook said the page was initially tolerated because it "began as a call for peaceful protest" but direct calls for violence began appearing and the page was removed for violating Facebook's policies.

Facebook Womens

A new survey conducted in the name of market research by daily deal company Eversave revealed some surprising and some not so surprising statistics about what women really think about their Facebook friends.

The results of the survey, which was conducted among 400 women in the USA, were published on technology blog Mashable on March 30.
While 400 is not a large sample size of the female population on Facebook, the survey found that the majority of women were annoyed by some common personality types and traits shared by their friends.
The most annoying habit of Facebook friends, according to 63 percent of women surveyed, was "complain[ing] all the time."
Other annoying traits of Facebook friends included posting political opinions, which annoyed 41 percent of women, and "bragging [boasting] about their perfect lives," for 32 percent, while 16 percent got peeved at Facebook friends who were "always posting updates about their precious kids."
The women surveyed were also asked to indentify personality types they were friends with on Facebook. The results are as follows:

65 % were friends with a "documentarian" - someone who constantly documents his or her life
61 % said they were friends with "a drama queen"
57 % were friends with '"a proud mama"
46 % were friends with "a liker" - someone who constantly "likes" Facebook posts
40 % were friends with "a poser"
35 % were friends with a "frenemy - an enemy whom both parties pretend is a friend
30 % were friends with a "one upper" - someone who constantly tries to do things better than others.
26 % were friends with an "airbrusher" - a person who alters photos to appear more attractive
Also, worryingly, 25 percent of the women surveyed were friends with a "stalker" - a person who follows their posts and activities through Facebook.

However, not all the women on Facebook may actually be real. A "virtual girlfriend" service known as Cloud Girlfriend is expected to be launched soon; the service will provide a virtual girlfriend in terms of status updates via Facebook to men who wish to boost their online relationship credentials.

Doctors Warning: Facebook Depression

ROCKWALL, TEXAS— Facebook users are everywhere--with 22% of teenagers logging onto Facebook more than 10 times a day.

Nicolette Ramirez checks in about 7 times a day and spends at least 2 hours online keeping up with her more than 300 friends.

"Just the other night I was on it for like three hours and I didn't go to sleep until like 1:00 a.m." Nicolette said. "I have to get up at like 5:00."

Nicolette isn't depressed but she is tired--and pediatrician Rana Pascoe of Pediatric and Adolescent Specialists of Rockwall, TX said not enough sleep can lead to depression--but usually kids get upset the most when someone posts something negative about them on Facebook.

For kids with poor self esteem--it can be devastating.

"Sometimes just even their status, if they are involved with someone or not involved with someone or I'm unfriending people, you know I'm mad at you so I'm going to unfriend you so that can lead to hurt feelings," Dr. Pascoe said. "Especially for younger kids."

Nicolette even has a Facebook app on her Smarthphone--which she checked at school all the time.

She admits her grades have suffered--and so is she now that her mom made her delete the app from her phone.

"I was using it a lot," Nicolette said. "I wasn't even doing my work at all. I would just be on it the whole time."

Experts say social networking sites can give kids the false illusion that everyone is having a good time but them--online there is no way to see facial expressions or body language and that can lead to hurt feelings. Nicolette said it can even lead to a fight.

"My friend got into a fight over something that was said over Facebook because they were talking back and forth between each other and met up and fought."

Experts advise parents to keep up with new technology and their kid's social networking skills--and families also need to have an online use plan.

Dr. Pascoe does and she tells parents they should do the same.

"I encourage parents and I do it at my house," Dr. Pascoe said. "I have my kids show me their Facebook page periodically, I make like random checks, I say let's see what you've got on here."

As for Nicolette--she admits her grades and lack of sleep aren't all the fault of Facebook.

"No," Nicolette said. "Because I have the option not to use it as much."

Facebook Kicks Out Underage

The social networking site kicks off around 20,000 underage users per day, its chief privacy adviser, Mozelle Thompson, told Australia's parliament this week.
He admitted that the site's way of weeding out those who don't meet the 13-and-up age requirement -- essentially a user-entry honor system -- is "not perfect," because there's no mechanism for detecting kids who simply enter a false age.
"There are people who lie. There are people who are under 13," Thompson said.
A recent Pew study found that nearly half of all U.S. 12-year-olds use social networking sites -- and privacy concerns in regard to Facebook's younger members have been growing of late. This month, Sen. Al Franken, a Minnesota Democrat, wrote to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg (pictured) to argue for reforms in the site's privacy measures. "Under Facebook's policy, 13 million users under the age of 18 may be allowed to share their personal information just like adult users," Franken wrote. "These younger users are the most vulnerable to predators on Facebook and the rest of the Internet and it should be impossible for them to inadvertently share their phone numbers and home addresses with anyone."
But Franken's figures don't factor in the unknown number of Facebook users under 13.
Other sites that are popular with kids handle the issue in differing ways. MySpace also requires users to be at least 13, but like Facebook, it has no practical way to verify that information. Disney.com allows children 12 and under to surf the site, and collects some personal information from them before they're eligible to participate in competitions, for example. Yahoo! doesn't allow kids 12 and under to register without the consent of a parent. Like Disney, it collects some limited idenifying information for participation in competitions and similar interactive features.

Facebook Worm a.k.a. Koobface Removal

On a popular internet site like Facebook that has drawn 100 million users worldwide, it also draws hackers. Facebook users have experienced an increase of Spam emails, hijacked accounts, and deactivated accounts.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

1
On a popular internet site like Facebook that has drawn 100 million users worldwide, it also draws hackers. Facebook users have experienced an increase of Spam emails, hijacked accounts, and deactivated accounts. Back in late July, attacks were linked to Koobface, an internet worm that targeted Facebook and MySpace. Koobface sends malicious codes in forms of messages such as "You look funny in this new video" and "You look just awesome in this new movie" leads straight to the virus, so it's best to DON'T CLICK THE MESSAGE. When you're on a social networking site, pay close attention to executables downloaded to Windows machines, keep your machine fully patched and run updated anti-malware software.

2
Spam e-mails spread Storm Worm malicious software to the recipient once the user clicks on a link, the malware software is downloaded to the Internet connected device and causes it to become infected and become part of the Storm Worm botnet. Botnet is a network of compromised machines under the authority of a single user. They plan to facilitate criminal activity and spreading malware to other machines on the internet. Social engineering lures to plant malware by using these two methods of using videos and fake Flash Player downloads. A file called code setup.exe is downloaded to the victim's machine.

3
Everyone should consider the following: (1) Do not click on unsolicited spam email. (2) Be cautious of individuals who represent themselves as officials soliciting personal information via e-mail. (3) Be cautious of emails that contain pictures in attached files, as many of the files may contain a virus. Only open attachments from known senders. (4) Do not provide personal information to anyone who solicits information. Also beware on the social network sites that include messages and comments such as Paris Hilton Tosses Dwarf On The Street; Examiners Caught Downloading Grades From The Internet; Hello; You must see it!!! LOL. My friend catched you on hidden cam; Is it really celebrity? Funny Moments and many others.

Facebook Bails Out U.S

WASHINGTON – With March 15th approaching and the threat of Facebook shutting down, the U.S. decided to bailout Facebook!

Facebook, the world’s largest and most popular networking site, came close to collapse in early January after owner Mark Zuckerberg announced he would be shutting it down on March 15th due to “escalating personal stress.”

Almost immediately after WWN broke the news, Zuckerberg made a public announcement denying the story, calling it a hoax. However, WWN repeatedly confirmed with Facebook insiders that Zuckerberg planned on pulling the plug on Facebook.

Several insiders told WWN that Zuckerberg publicly denied the story because he was being pressured by Goldman Sachs to keep the site live.

“Mark was conflicted. He felt overwhelmed by the growth of Facebook and wanted to move onto a smaller project, but he felt an obligation to Goldman Sachs and other investors,” Avrat Humarthi, Facebook CFO told WWN.”

That’s when the government stepped in.

President Obama, who doesn’t want his daughters to use Facebook, knows that Facebook is a critical part of American life and told his cabinet and staff to keep it alive, “no matter what it takes.”

President Obama announced his plan to bail out Facebook Friday night. He said he got the idea for the bailout after one of his secretaries asked him to sign the PLEASE DO NOT SHUTDOWN FACEBOOK! petition.

The petition, which has garnered support from over 55,000 Facebook users, was signed by all 535 members of the Congress, as well as President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden.

Under the Facebook bailout package, the government will become the majority shareholders of Facebook, and will spend as much as $250 billion on revitalizing the website’s security settings. It also plans to spend up to $22.5 billion on finally installing a “dislike” option for pictures, wall posts, and status updates.

“With this bailout, the government can finally restore America’s faith in social networking,” said President Obama, during a press conference Monday night. “No longer can we think of ourselves as conservatives or liberals, red staters or blue staters. In this new era of social networking, we are all equals. Through Facebook, we are united as one.”

The US Government encourages all Facebook users to remember that starting September 1, 2011, the website must be accessed through its new web address: www.facebook.gov.
