God! 100 Million Like on Facebook It's Fake
Facebook today is indeed the number one social media in the world. In June, the company owned by Mark Zuckerberg announced the number of global users as much as 2 billion people. However, Facebook is also faced with falsehood in its services.
For example, Facebook recently blocked 470 fake Russian accounts. Hundreds of fake accounts were used to spread certain politics in Russia. Not only that, researchers also recently found the existence of 50 websites that offer fake like for free. As revealed Neowin, Tuesday (12/09/2017), researchers from the University of Iowa, United States, revealed the number of fake like throughout 2015 until 2016.
Based on the findings, they reveal a million Facebook accounts registered in a collusion network run by spammers. The accounts were created to generate a fake like 100 million submissions. The researcher also revealed a gap in the code used for third-party application authorization. This problem makes the process like done automatically the previous manual.
"Users think it's benign, but actually they hand over full control over their Facebook accounts, they (spammers) can also access all the information available on your profile, view your posts, even read private messages," says computer science professor at the University of Iowa, Zubair Shafiq.
Although Facebook claims to have patched up the gap, USA Today's page is still able to join one of these networks. Given these findings, social media users are asked to pay attention to requests related to access to their personal data.
In addition they are also expected to review which websites and apps have connected permissions. If you are a Facebook user and want to check which apps have access to your account, how to go to the Settings menu then select Apps section.
