Re: Message Typed in Wrong Box ( Facebook )
So I found out that it was a chain of pranks done by people on 4chan. Here are some more they supposedly did. "The unnamed Christian dating service I mentioned earlier had an exploit in the website that allowed the entire list of usernames and passwords for the site to be exposed. The files were then placed into “christian.txt” (seen in some of the screenshots), then posted on 4chan where they were spread amongst other hackers. Not for certain, but I believe the use of the same password for both email and the dating service allowed the hackers, armed with the user database contents of the dating website, to enter the email accounts of the victims where they could retrieve a generated password recovery email from Facebook. If this is the case, then Facebook may not have been the only target of the attacks, although it is certainly the most prominent. You can see Yahoo! email accounts open in background tabs in some of the fuller screenshots, as well as 4chan and the “Christian.txt” file listing the users. " |
