It reckons miscreants snooped on least 50 million people&#8217;s private profiles, and perhaps as much as 90 million.<\/p>\n<p>In a security note <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/newsroom.fb.com\/news\/2018\/09\/security-update\/\">posted Friday morning<\/a>, the social media giant&#8217;s VP of product management Guy Rosen said the Silicon Valley giant uncovered a security hole earlier this week that allowed scumbags to snatch tens of millions of people&#8217;s account access tokens. These tokens were used to log into the associated accounts without knowing their passwords, letting crooks download victims&#8217; private information, photos, and videos.<\/p>\n<p>In effect, any Facebook user account was wide open to being hacked, although the tech goliath estimated that &#8220;only&#8221; 50 million accounts were, in the words of a spokesperson, &#8220;directly affected.&#8221; A further 40 million had their accounts &#8220;looked up.&#8221; It has patched the hole, and logged out 90 million users to invalidate their access tokens. Facebook staff said it appears no posts were made on users&#8217; behalf by the hackers, and that no credit card information was taken. &#8220;We will update you as we know more,&#8221; a representative told us.<\/p>\n<p>The security hole was available through the &#8220;View As&#8221; option \u2013 where users can check how others might see their profile, allowing folks to make sure that their private stuff is private and public posts are visible. The biz&#8217;s engineers discovered that hackers had found a hole that allowed hackers &#8220;to steal Facebook access tokens which they could then use to take over people\u2019s accounts.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This attack exploited the complex interaction of multiple issues in our code. It stemmed from a change we made to our video uploading feature in July 2017,&#8221; the social network said in a statement.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"crosshead\"><span>Spiked<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>On a press conference held Friday morning in the valley, a Facebook representative went into greater details. The hole was the result of three different bugs: the first caused a video upload feature to appear on certain posts when it shouldn&#8217;t have; the second caused that uploader to generate an access token; and the third, critically, caused the access token that was generated to be for the person that someone was looking up, rather than the actual user. That meant a third party was able to potentially directly access any user&#8217;s account.<\/p>\n<p>Facebook spotted the hole after it noted a suspicious &#8220;spike&#8221; in user activity on Tuesday. The attack was &#8220;fairly large scale,&#8221; it admitted, and when it investigated the cause it discovered hackers were using the site&#8217;s API to automating grab users&#8217; profile information.<\/p>\n<div class=\"promo_article\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/regmedia.co.uk\/2017\/10\/10\/mark_zuckerberg_puerto_rico_vr.jpg?x=174&amp;y=115&amp;crop=1\" width=\"174\" height=\"115\" alt=\"Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg in VR\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 title=\"And it's all your fault!\">As Zuck apologizes again&#8230; Facebook admits &#8216;most&#8217; of its 2bn+ users may have had public profiles slurped by bots<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.co.uk\/2018\/04\/04\/facebook_zuckerberg_says_sorry\/\"><span>READ MORE<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Facebook said it went to law enforcement the next day, patched the hole soon after, and logged out all accounts that have accessed the &#8220;View As&#8221; option since July 2017.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are constantly improving our security and this underscores the fact that there are constant attacks,&#8221; said CEO Mark Zuckerberg. &#8220;We need to keep focusing on this over time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This comes after a hacker in Taiwan threatened to live-stream over the internet on Sunday him hacking into Zuckerberg&#8217;s Facebook account.
