The Drop Box

The Drop Box For Facebook Security Hole

Security flaw is more mobile than before, as well as identity theft and other data from Facebook profiles.

Facebook is said that this security hole, only victim of the operating system has been changed or jailbroken. This assertion is incorrect, because the vulnerability of all Android and Apple gizmos.

Security hole was discovered by a security expert Gareth Wright,who IExplorer, free program that allows users to find the file on their iPhones or iPads storage devices as if they were.

He discovered in the text as a sign of Facebook - encapsulation, a user's identity and personal information - in Omgpop Draw All mobile games.

The Drop Box

After copying and testing of the access token of the query language, he was able to get access to "all information" in his Facebook account.

Facebook app to access the folder and access it with IExplorercom.Facebook.plist file, find its credentials in clear text. Wright sent a plist file to a local blogger, he is with friends, and bloggers can access their Facebook account and carry out activities, such as the taste of the wall pages, send personal messages, and send pictures to add apps to run anything.

Plist file, Wright installed four units, and the result was the same, so he contacted Facebook, which initially responded to this problem have been reported, and it works.

He tested multiple devices plist problem, which, as a rule, will be used to illegally collect user information, and Wright was able to collect more than a week in 1000 plist file (it does not copy any data).

Facebook issued a long statement, the accused persons, who have jailbroken or modified security hole:

IOS and Android applications for the Facebook-provided only by the manufacturer, operating system, and access tokens are only vulnerable if they have changed the mobile OS (ie jailbroken IOS or modded Android), or the condition, the actor threatened with physical access to the device.

We develop and test our applications with the same version of the mobile operating system and native of Hope, a foundation for development, implementation and compromised the safety of all on jailbroken devices. As Apple says, "IOS could allow hackers to steal personal information from unauthorized modification ... or a malware or a virus."

To protect themselves, we recommend that all users refrain from changing the use of mobile OS in order to avoid instability and security problems.

End of story? A. Wright and the Web as a duplicate of a security hole on devices that have been jailbroken or modified.

Wright published:

I feel I must repeat Facebook plays it, and it was fine, but says that only jailbroken phones are stolen or not.

The greatest risk of malware and viruses are designed to slurp data from devices connected to PCs, so that no matter what other articles say, jailbroken or not, that you are vulnerable.

When testing, it worked for closed pass - coded native IOS devices.

The Web has also shared her experience:

As a matter of fact, we are here to copy Facebook hack TNW Labs(using their own equipment) and it works very well without the jailbreak.

If you carefully read the Facebook application, but it does not cover the bases when he says that you are vulnerable if you have it quite right, "the actor threatened with physical access to the device." - The unit will be required to physically access one way or another, but that does not mean that it should be stolen or that someone was not for him.

How to Video Chat in Facebook using an Online Application for Free

Facebook is the world’s biggest social networking portal. It has almost all the features that can be said as the core social networking features mandatory for any social networking website. But one feature that I find missing in Facebook is Video Chat. Although facebook has its own chat box where people can chat with their friends right inside facebook but it does not have any utility of Video Chatting embedded into it. 

In this post I will tell you about an online third party application that you can use to video chat with your facebook friends and that too for free. The name of this application is sockchat. Just in the morning when I woke up – I was searching for a solution that could allow me to video chat with my friends. After Googling I found sockchat as a perfect solution for this.

Although I have used this online web service but still I don’t have much knowledge about the Privacy control in the application. But lets come back to a quick fact – video chatting can be done via sockchat with your facebook friends.

Using this application is really very simple. All what you have to do in order to video chat with your facebook friends is to just allow this application to access your profile data with their facebook connect feature. Then you will need to fill up a simple form about your nick name to be used in chatting and other basic information. And that is it – you will see all your friends in the left pane of the chatbox and you can invite anyone of them for a video chat with you.

Ten tips To Identify Fake Profiles On Facebook

Ten tips To Identify Fake Profiles On Facebook

Previously, I shared an article about the possibility report fake profiles on Facebook. Now I prepared a few tips to determine fakeprofiles. Like many other social networks, Facebook also has a lot of fake profiles unfortunately. These fake profiles holders usingsocial engineering tactics to attack innocent people. Facebook hasnearly 500 million users (Check Infographic) and, not surprisingly, have thousands of fake profiles. Below I have mentioned, somefunny, but true tips to find the profile is fake or not.

1^st

Image profile. It is always suspicious of profiles featuring photos of professional models. Most of the fake profiles, especially women, has only one profile picture, and that too pretty and sexy(ahem) photos!
2^nd

 Many of the men. Their friends list will contain mostly men(well, it's not their fault, the question of gender equality). It could bearound the 1000s or even more than that.
3^rd

When Dali? Check to see if she / he joined. If you have a lot of friends on Facebook were only a short time, it is likely false.
4th 

Mark me! He / she would be identified in tons of cartoonimages, than his own image.
5^th

 The application requests. If he / she is in your list of friends, then you will get Lotta application or as an application of them. I have received many requests like that, some are "Can you send me achicken?", "You can send a buffalo?" .. LOL.
6^th

 Facebook album. Most of the photos are fake profiles open toeveryone. Well, not a promising tip, but worth it. It can contain manyfiles, but will not have signs indicating the different profiles. Theyalso contain very small photos.
7th 

Full profile. If the profile is long and detailed, then you can besure that it is a real person. Fake profile makers will not have time to create a long and interesting profiles.
8th 

Favorites page. Most of the fake profiles are less than 20 pages, well almost.
9^th

 Description. Most of the fake profiles are marked as "Accept MyRequest Farmville", "Add Me In Mafia Wars," and many others.
10^th

 For boys: Girls, do not send friendship with strangers, I mean the good guys! So if you happen to get a friend request from girlswithout verification confirm details. If you are looking for a nice guyand you have a friend request from a hot babe. Then you really need to triple check!
