On September 25, Facebook announced a security problem affecting nearly 50 million users. It is hoped that this security breach will prompt Facebook management to accelerate its efforts to improve the privacy of data through the integration of plucchin technology.
50 million facebook account is unlocked
The Facebook loophole, which has affected nearly 50 million user accounts, is the company's biggest security incident to date. According to the company's security update, the investigations to date reveal the following:
"We discovered earlier this week that an external agent attacked our systems and exploited a vulnerability that revealed the access codes for Facebook accounts in HTML when viewing a particular item in View As"
The security update also indicates that the vulnerability was caused by the interaction of three software errors that targeted the View As feature. Now, Facebook reports that the vulnerability has been fixed, as described in the latest update:
"We've reset the access codes for nearly 50 million accounts, and we've also taken the precautionary step of resetting access codes to 40 million other accounts that used the View As feature last year. Finally, we've temporarily turned off this feature while performing a comprehensive account security review "
Blocking technology can protect Facebook data
This security breach could have been prevented if Facebook had integrated the proxy technology to ensure data security. It allows users to exchange data in a distributed, decentralized, secure and non-corrupt environment. The strength of this technology lies in its transparency, so that everyone can see the total number of transactions recorded in the blockin. More importantly, no modifications to the plaque can be made.
Rumors have been circulating in the media that Facebook is exploring the possibility of using plucin. In May 2018, Facebook appointed its messaging team leader to direct a dedicated team to explore the best ways to take advantage of Facebook's blogins, from scratch.
On September 6, 2018, CNBC reported that Facebook had added six jobs to its blockbuster team. For example, the job description of the head of business development and partnership includes the following expertise and responsibility: a deep understanding of the products and technology of the blocin to inform Facebook of the search result
