Easy Facebook Hacking


       Almost everyone above 13 years are using Facebook these days and it is becoming a social status of having many number of friends. One can hack the user profile by exploiting the mentality of having more number of people as friends whether we know them are not. The simple way used these these days to hack facebook is as follows.

      Consider alice to be the target for hacking. The attacker will first create number of fake accounts and give request to alice and will wait for approval. Once the requests are accepted then the attacker will try the facility meant for resetting the password when we forget our password. In the dialogue box the attacker will select his / her accounts as friends list for confirmation and the reset of password can be made with the help of the fake profiles.

      And one more important thing is that don't put photos in social networking sites especially ladies. You may think that
I am having my privacy setting for viewing my profile pic in full size only by me then why should i fear ??? There is a bug in Facebook and it is still exists that allows everyone to view your profile picture as full size even your privacy setting is meant only for you.

    I am not explaining how to exploit the bug because the posts are meant only to create awareness.

P.S : The post is only to create awareness and not to be misused.
