Facebook has announced that 50m accounts had their access tokens stolen by hackers today. No need to change your password, but this might explain why you were automatically logged out yesterday:



'To protect your security, we may have recently logged you out of your Facebook account. On September 25th, 2018, we discovered an attack on our system where attackers stole Facebook access tokens.

Access tokens are the equivalent of digital keys that attackers could then have used to take over other people's accounts. By logging people out, we prevent attackers from using the tokens to access these accounts.

We don't know yet if anyone's Facebook information was accessed, but we wanted to let you know what we're doing to protect your account. We're continuing to investigate the situation and have informed law enforcement about the issue. If we find that more people have been affected, we'll immediately log them out and then let them know what happened.

If you've been logged out, you will need to log back into your account to continue using Facebook or other apps you log into using Facebook. There's no need for anyone to change their passwords. But if you're having trouble logging back into your account, learn what you can do.'

Yeah... FB is quickly losing what remains of it's image, it's integrity is certainly gone.

Logged out yesterday, again today.

I got an email today from someone demanding $500 in bitcoins or else they would post videos of me having a wank. Same sort of thing as before, except this time the email stated they had my PASSWORD I use for a a number of sites, and yes, there it is right there in the email's subject line, which was kinda disturbing.

I use Linux so while it's not impossible I got hacked somehow, I suspect it's been attained via one of the sites I use. Or maybe from an app on my phone?

Probably should change passwords more than once every 20 years I guess lol.

Nobody is going to watch you wank. Save the $500!

Mate my videos are worth much more than $500. I feel hurt. How dare they.

According the latest news, "only" 30,000,000 are hacked.
