Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ – Facebook glitch let the spammers post on the wall
clever spammer found a fault in the system send a Facebook photo and used it to post one thousand unwanted messages this weeks Wall.
Facebook error confirmed Friday, after notifying the users concerned about this.
Andrew Jones was one of the victims. He thought that his Facebook account was hijacked on Sunday after a friend pointed out spam messages on the wall. Quickly changed his password, but I fear that some of his other e-mail may have been taken over too. There is no other visible signs of compromise, and came to the conclusion, the most likely scenario was a public computer, I recently used some types of malicious software on it, said IDG News Service via e-mail.
It turns out that the problem was all Facebook.
Earlier this week, we discovered a bug in the code that processes the images as they are uploaded. This error did not cause us to a proper control in determining whether the photo should be posted to the profile of the person, said Facebook Friday in an e-mail statement. Worked quickly to resolve the problem and fixed it immediately after discovering it. For a short period of time before it was fixed, a spammer can send pictures to the profiles of people that are not approved.
Most messages promised to Free iPhone, a common message spam on Facebook these days. free iPhone and IPAD message usually take users to pages on which they are instructed to complete marketing surveys, or register your subscription product. Victims reported that their phone numbers inundated with calls after completing these studies.
Facebook maintains that the spammer hit one thousand profiles before the company removed unwanted pictures and notified to interested users. No accounts have been compromised by error, Facebook said.
People, whose walls were hit spam I got a notice from the Facebook security team, reading:
For several hours on Sunday, it was not spam incident on Facebook. At that time, photographs mostly from the allegedly free iPhone have been placed on the walls of some people, including you. We have removed the image from the Wall and it was found that the problem spammers allowed to do so. Unfortunately, the photo, but I can assure you that it did not affect the security of your account in another way.
Spammers love Facebook because users are more likely to click on the Facebook wall posts and messages than on links in e-mail.
This week, Facebook introduced a new control , which allow users or unauthorized computers were used for logging into your account.
But spammers will try to use Facebook, according to Chris Boyd, a senior researcher with security vendor GFI Software.
Image spam is used by the Free iPod spammer can be very effective, he said. Image spam is a great way for scammers to promote the false conclusions and research, he said via instant messaging. An individual can fall for something like this will likely attract more than a pretty picture at random-link spam.

Looking to recover deleted files?
Have you ever been in the situation of recovering deleted files? Every time a file is saved on your PC, it is recorded on your hard drive as digital information. The information is stored in your pc in the format of zeros and ones. When you erase a file, the digital information that makes it up, the code on your hard drive, is not deleted. When the file is deleted, you can’t see it, access it, or even know that it’s there. But all the binary code that makes it remains on the hard drive.
