Worm Steals At Least 45,000 Facebook Logins

[Proverbial Jon]

The easiest way to not get involved in that statistic is to not use Facebook.

I, personally, fail to see the downside.

This. So glad I deleted my account. I've never looked back.

I say we take the fight TO the beast!
Grab your thumper and the nearest firetruck.
THE HUNT IS ON!

"Anya, it's a giant worm! They're sinking Facebook accounts with a giant worm!"

 

[MegaManOfNumbers]

Ha! Take that hackers! I have no social life!

Victory to the misanthrope!

*runs off wailing insanely*

Glory to the Mega Man Nerd!

 

[ThunderCavalier]

Never have I been happier to not have a Facebook.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

Not that big a deal. I very rarely click links anyway and if there is any amount of activity on my account, it probably isn't me.

 

[Strazdas]

why do i see "facebook accounts hacked again" as a positive news?

Hey, remember when steam got hacked last year? Yeah. Shut up. Facebook is convenient.

you mean two shitty services got hacked in close period of time? your point being?

"Anya, it's a giant worm! They're sinking Facebook accounts with a giant worm!"

"Anya, pass the sauce. It's roasting time"

I've a facebook, but it's mostly for keeping up to date on activities.

 

[Athinira]

Hilarious, simply hilarious, now I have written proof of why not to use facebook.

...So what you're saying is that you're stupid enough to:
1) Get infected?
2) Fall for such an elaborate scam?

You might want to consider your next move )

Good thing i never give a shit what links people post on Facebook then.
Anything that looks like it should have been picked up by my spam folder on my e-mail account gets insta-ignored, especially if has the word "sex" and/or a whole bunch of exclamation marks somewhere in it.

Yeah, i doubt i'm in the danger-zone here so i'll just keep logging in once a day to see if any of the people i actually care about has done anything i should pay attention to.

ppffft whats a worm going to do with my password, it has no fingers to type it in!

 

[Gyrohelix]

I think you misunderstood me, I have never even touched facebook, and my friends are bewildered by it regardless of how I explain to them why I don't use it. I find this endlessly amusing because now my arguments have proof, in addition to the proff I already had.

 

[jawakiller]

Oh boy, all my valuable information.

 

[SextusMaximus]

Fair enough, never wanted to see any "Leaked sex tapes" anyway.

 

[AntiChrist]

If your friends start sending out a bunch of links, be extra careful. Don't let yourself wind up a part of this statistic.

Good thing I don't have any friends then.

 

[similar.squirrel]

I use Linux and stay away from dodgy links. Hope that will be enough.

 

[Metalrocks]

good thing i never click on anything i dont know or have no interest in. so i think i should be alright so as my wife. we never click on anything, doesnt matter if our friends have posted it or not. unless my friend tells me they are sending me a link.

but im sure not surprised to hear about it. people always try all kind of way to get to infos and money.

 

[BaronUberstein]

People called me crazy for not having a Facebook, but it seems the glove is on the other foot now!

MUA HAHAHAHAHAha..haaa

That being said, a shame this is happening. Hopefully people remain aware and don't click random or suspicious links.

 

[Pinkamena]

Worm, you can't steal login information.
You can't even use a computer, you have no fingers!

 

[General Vengeance]

People have been warned for years not to use facebook, for security reasons. Yet the sheep continue to gather around the poisoned well.

 

[Android2137]

Makes me glad that I hate facebook for admittedly stupid reasons. It's giving me better reasons to hate it.
