New scandal shake Facebook .. More than 120 million account at risk


It seems clear that the attacks targeting Facebook for social networking have not and will not stop, and it seems that the scandals of the company continues after the hackers published 81 thousand private conversations from the accounts of Facebook users.
Despite the publication of the talks, the hacker group said it had managed to penetrate 120 million users of Facebook using plugins added on browsers, from other companies, to monitor communications among Facebook users.

In what appears to be an ordinary and popular act on Facebook recently, it is also reminiscent of the 30 million user account hacking a month ago, knowing that the nature of the latest hacking is different from the previous one.

The difference stems from the fact that Facebook security this time was not at risk, according to the BBC's investigation team.

This time, hackers used Internet browser plugins to access data, and they could not get any user data, just stealing conversations.

The difference between the recent and past breakthroughs was that breakthroughs in the private talks took place in both Ukraine and Russia, and few of them were intended for talks using users in Britain, the United States, Brazil and elsewhere, while the previous breakthrough targeted only US users.

The Facebook executive said his company contacted the manufacturer of the supplement and asked them to prevent downloading or adding it to the Internet browsers, and contacted the relevant authorities in countries where the talks were broken in order to close sites that display the texts of private conversations stolen.

The add-on can be added to Safari, Firefox and Chrome browsers, according to the Tech Radar website.
