Facebook messenger integrating with the WhatsApp

Everyone knows that Facebook owns Whatsapp and the company rolled out voice calling features to the app on Android recently.

However, it looks like things are changing rapidly as a new update reveals Facebook messenger integrating with the chat app.

Millions of users around the globe use Whatsapp and as a matter of fact, it has more subscribers than Facebook itself, which is why the company acquired it. After all, no one can predict when a social media website would fall, as years pass by. Ever since their acquisition, the company never had any idea to merge the two together. Besides, there was no need to do it until now. People who use the messenger in Facebook on Android and other operating systems often have a need, when they have to contact their friends or family.

Not everyone installs and keeps FB ready, which is when Whatsapp comes into picture. The most popular messaging app, which also has voice calling, makes it easier to stay in touch with others. Besides, users don’t have to switch between two apps to text and communicate with people in their contact list

Director of record label Anjunabeats, Paavo Siljamäki posted a captivating a brief study on his Facebook wall throwing a spotlight over this issue. Facebook post of Paavo Siljamäki states that Facebook engineers at Facebook office in LA logged into his Facebook account after his permission during his visit where he cam across a unusual incident which was Facebook engineers  logged into his Facebook account without asking him for the password of his account.

Facebook User is Screwed Without Notification After Stranger Accessing Users’s Account

It was a blew out of the water experience for Paavo Siljamäki, as after being logged by the Facebook engineer without facilitating the password, Facebook has failed to caution the user (Paavo Siljamäki) with any alert briefing his private Facebook profile being accessed by some strange person since the company does when any person try’s to log in to a persons Facebook account with out a proper password and username from a strange suspicious device of a different Geo-location.

Stormed by this incident Paavo Siljamäki approached the Facebook in order to figure out who all does have the similar kind of master access to anyone’s Facebook account, who can access anyone’s Facebook account, when cam they do so and how to be aware of this kind of acts if any Facebook has logged in to anyone’s Facebook account.

Facebook has issued a statement when it was questioned by the Paavo Siljamäki  about how the employee/Facebook engineer got access to user’s Facebook account without entering the account credentials such as password and username:

We have rigorous administrative, physical, and technical controls in place to restrict employee access to user data. Our controls have been evaluated by independent third parties and confirmed multiple times by the Irish Data Protection Commissioner’s Office as part of their audit of our practices.”

Facebook stated that access  to its users accounts would be accorded to its engineers and employees to  reply to a customer request for information or error report.

Facebook explicated that “Designated employees may only access the amount of information that’s necessary to carry out their job responsibilities, such as responding to bug reports or account support inquiries, We have a zero tolerance approach to abuse, and improper behavior results in termination.”

Concisely, Facebook declared that it has a secured customer service tool which concedes admittance to the users Facebook profile to the Facebook engineer. It as later found that tech giant Facebook produces weekly reports on suspicious behavior by its two separately running monitoring systems to review and analyse the users data by two independent security teams. This whole process happens by the a selected group of employees.

Facebook ensures the safety its users personal data ensuring maximum security by  admonishing strongly to its recruited employees to use secured customer service tool with in their limitations and has expelled many of its employees who dared to violate their limitations by attempting to use this tool for their benefits.

Microsoft builds New Browser

Microsoft builds new browser – Microsoft builds a new browser with Windows 10

We’ve already heard lots of stories about Windows 10. Yes, new update is Microsoft builds a new browser with Windows 10, but still we need to wait till January 2015 to get clear data.

According to ZDNet’s sources Microsoft is building a completely a new browser to replace the global but oft-maligned Internet Explorer. We knew that there’s been talk for a while that Microsoft was going to make some big changes to Internet Explorer in the Windows 10 time frame, making IE “Spartan” look and feel more like Chrome and Firefox browsers.

New Browser – Spartan

Now It just turns out that what’s actually happening is Microsoft is building a new browser, codenamed Spartan, which is not IE 12. Spartan is just a code-name at this point of time. But we are not sure what Microsoft plans to call this new browser the time of this browser’s debuts.

Microsoft builds new browser

This new Windows browser is being called “Spartan” and it seems completely new browser. Although just heard that Spartan is not based on Internet Explorer at all. But we need to wait to get an announcement from Microsoft.Preview builds of Windows 10 have included a desktop version of Internet Explorer, though granted an old version that was always bound to be replaced in future Windows 10 builds. Microsoft creating a new browser from scratch would explain why they haven’t fit a new version into any Windows 10 previews so far.

Though Spartan will reportedly use Microsoft’s Chakra JavaScript and Trident engines rather than the common WebKit, just like IE does, and Windows 10 may actually ship with both Spartan and the existing version of Internet Explorer 11 (or one slightly updated) for backward compatibility’s sake.

Microsoft builds new browser

As said earlier, “Spartan” for now is just a codename, but we may find out exactly and wait for some time that what the new Windows browser will be called at Microsoft’s impending January event.

Thanks

Hack Your Facebook Friends? More Like Hack Yourself.

What if you could hack your friend’s Facebook account simply by copying and pasting a piece of code into your web-browser’s console?

A recent Facebook scam promises just that.

Hack Any Friend’s Facebook Scam

False promises on Facebook: it’s a recurring theme adopted by spammers. This time, it’s a Facebook post that begins as follows:

    UPDATE LINK FOR FACEBOOK HACKING

    F.A.C.B.O.O.K —-H.A.C.K.I.N.G(ONLY FOR EDUCATION PURPOSES) 

The content of the post includes a link to a Google document and written instructions on how to hack your friend’s Facebook account, as well as an instructional video. The instructions tell you to go to the Google document, copy its contents, paste those contents into your web browser’s console (found by hitting F12), hit enter, and wait 2 hours for the hack to kick in.

Users who follow these instructions will in reality hack their OWN account.

Self Cross-Site Scripting Hack

Rather than a magical code to hack your friend’s Facebook account, the contents of the Google Doc are actually a malicious JavaScript code that hijacks your account for spamming. While you sit and wait the prescribed 2 hours for the hack to kick in, your Facebook account is used to generate Likes on pages owned by the attackers. Furthermore, the code tells your account to tag all of your friends in its original post so that they can be lured to it too.

The copy-paste technique used in this scam is called Self Cross-Site Scripting, or Self XSS. Self XSS is about as simple as it gets: Attackers generate malicious code and then try to convince their victims to paste that code into their web console and execute it. This type of attack hinges on social engineering – like dangling the promise of being able to hack any friend’s account – and it has actually been around for quite some time. Reports indicate that this latest campaign has been active since early 2014 and that it has already generated as many as 100,000 fraudulent Likes.

Such success has indeed been noticed by Facebook and prompted the social media giant to issue a warning regarding this type of attack, which includes the option to enable or disable the web console while on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/.

The warning jests at enabling the web console by stating “Allow my account to be hijacked if I paste malicious JavaScript” next to the setting’s check box. More importantly, the warning also points out that a Self XSS can be used to do much worse than generate Like spam. Beyond Facebook accounts, Self XSS hacks are used to execute a wide variety of malware, to commit all types of cybercrime.

 

Protect Yourself (from Yourself) with Surf Protection Technology

If you think you have fallen victim to the Hack Your Friend’s Facebook scam, you should review your Facebook activity log to see if your account has been used to generate fraudulent Likes: https://www.facebook.com/help/www/289066827791446. If it has, you can always Unlike them.
It’s also good practice to exercise caution when encountering any Internet offer dangling a virtual carrot just out of reach. Scams like these happen almost every single day, and are most often initiated through large social media networks where they can achieve the most exposure.

It’s designed to prevent you from visiting malicious websites that contain copy-paste code used in Self XSS attacks. That way, you can protect yourself from yourself (and from malware too).
