Facebook, a popular social network that attracts many people around the world, has faced a major security problem. Hackers have been able to hack into the account of 50 million users of this social network and take control of their accounts using Facebook's View As feature. As a result of this attack, users who had their account hacked inevitably left their account to prevent more hackers from accessing.
According to Facebook, the attack has taken place on Thursday, the problem has been resolved, and since then, US police officials have been on the move.
What's the View As feature
Facebook has made it possible for users to see how others see their account, what parts are visible by others, and which parts are not visible. The feature called View As is the hacker's pretext for gaining access to 50 million Facebook accounts.
The information suggests that after applying the changes to the video upload capability on Facebook, the vulnerability that has been used by hackers has been created. It seems that hackers have used Facebook tokens to access their Facebook account. This token allows users long-term login in their account so that each time you enter your account, you do not need to enter the password
Is there any use of hacked accounts?
It's not clear whether the hacked Facebook account has been used up, according to the CNN news agency. However, Facebook has rescued every 50 million hacked Facebook accounts after it, while resetting 40 million other users to keep their accounts secure.
