Saw yet another friend's Facebook

2023-04-07 18:55:02.89767+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Saw yet another friend's Facebook account get hacked, and they're now rebuilding their friends-list with another new account, and it's kinda interesting how low-value the account actually is. Like, yeah, you can walk away from it and build up another one with a couple of friends posting about what's happening, and in a few days the connections are rebuilt.

As long as they have local backups of pictures, only real thing of value is whatever they've used Facebook to log into (eg: external games). Which is something to consider if you're considering SSO from a service that isn't responsive to account hijacking.
