Facebook Will Now Reward Hackers!
After the recent Cambridge data scandal, the social networking giant, Facebook has been slapped with different lawsuits, for violation of the customer’s privacy policy. “Facebook's bug bounty program will expand so that people can also report to us if they find misuses of data by app developers. We are beginning work on this and will have more details as we finalize the program updates in the coming week,” says one the facebook official when asked about the incident.
​
Different companies like Tesla, Playboy etc have deactivated their accounts and confronted them for misusing their data. Facebook is now focusing on mending the damage and improving their privacy settings. They are looking into the vulnerabilities of the software that makes it more prone to hacking attacks. It is expanding their bugs bounty program that will increase the security of an account. Initially, this program was started to just find out the internet loopholes, but now this technology is also being incorporated into third-party apps as well, that misuses the private data of the users. The company is offering $100,000 to researchers who are recruited to find out technical flaws on different websites.
​
On the latest survey, it was discovered that a back-end feature in Facebook could actually track all your information, and can even track your personal messages and call logs. Several other lawsuits have been filed, right after the news came into the light. Further investigation has found that Facebook can actually be the mother of all the hacking procedure and can turn into a big-time reward for the hackers who are willing to pay them for various personal data.
​
However, Mozilla Firefox has created a solution to this problem and has developed a technology and extension known as the facebook container. In this process, the browser extension creates a blue colored browser tab that will isolate your facebook session from other open tabs. Hence, Facebook will not be able to get access to your personal information and will not be able to track your activities over the internet.
​
This echo chamber will not have hold of any of your data and you can browse safely through the internet, without the fear of being hacked or attacked. Facebook account can also be hacked through various third party websites that ask for your personal information to function. So make sure you do not share your personal details and credentials over the internet.
