Hackers Flood Facebook Accounts With Porn

Hackers have flooded the news feeds of thousands of Facebook users around the world with pornographic and violent images.

Users reported logging in to find themselves confronted by images and videos that had been doctored to show celebrities, including teen star Justin Bieber and singer Rihanna, in indecent poses, as well as other sexually explicit content.
Some users were tricked into sharing offensive content with others, after pasting "malicious" content into their browser URL bar.
The source of the attacks, which have been occurring over recent days, is not yet known, Facebook has said.

Initially, there was speculation that Anonymous, a loose global affiliation of hackers which has targeted other major companies in the past, could be behind the attack.
A group claiming allegiance to Anonymous claimed in a YouTube video that it had created the "Fawkes virus" to attack Facebook.
An automated voice in the video said: "Using a simple Facebook account, the worm can be carried into other accounts with little or no interaction.
"We did not expect the intensity with which this would spread."
However, Sky News understands Facebook's own investigations have now concluded that the so-called "hacktivist" group was not behind the attack.
Spokesman Andrew Noyes said in a statement: "We experienced a co-ordinated spam attack that exploited a browser vulnerability.
"Our efforts have drastically limited the damage caused by this attack and we are now in the process of investigating to identify those responsible."
He added: "Protecting the people who use Facebook from spam and malicious content is a top priority for us and we are always working to improve our systems to isolate and remove material that violates our terms."


======================

Given the depraved filth churned out by a good few of the pitchforkers and ghouls on FB, no-one will notice any difference on their groups.

Isolate and remove material that violates their terms?

That's a laugh.

Same goes for Twitter.

No wonder the #mccann 's need police protection to go to the shops - they never know who they'll meet who's read the police files #awkward


Do they actually believe sh*t like that, or do they just post it to fill a space?

Look at that moron:

Imagine being the #McCann 's and not knowing which of your friends, family and neighbours has read the police files. Guess they're nervous

How can any be so nasty, thick and deluded, all at the same time? It's like the tick tockers who get all excited at the thought of the McCann twins reading the filth they themselves have posted on the internet, in a few years time.

The pitchforkers have all convinced themselves that the twins will read their garbage, and instantly start hating their parents.

Newsflash - that's not the way it works.

If Madeleine still hasn't been found and reunited with her family, then her siblings will wonder who the freaks and perverts are who write such disgusting things about their parents, and other members of their family.

they never know who they'll meet who's read the police files #awkward

Which police files has that person read?

I think they must have a special, haters' edition of the police files, Lily, as the rubbish they spout never seems to bear any resemblance to the files the rest of us have read, and double-check with constantly.

Oh is that the Gonc Special Edition? The one that stops at the half time report? The one that SY will be rolling their eyes at?

Awkward.
