Re: [Blind-sysadmins] facebook hacking app

I don't find it so very unlikely that there's an app out there for highjacking facebook sessions. Correct me if I'm wrong but facebook encrypts only the login screens, right? So while your password doesn't get sent over the network in plain text, after you log in, everything else does. That would mean anyone on the same network as you are could highjack your session. The only thing that would prevent that would be if the network traffic itself was encrypted. Are phone networks encrypted? ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Mehler" To: "Blind sysadmins list" Sent: Friday, December 09, 2011 8:58 PM Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] facebook hacking app

Hi, Thanks. That was kind of my thoughts as well, but I don't know everything and am not an avid facebook user, I just wanted to make sure nothing was slipping by me.

Thanks. Dave.

Probably as real as those virus warnings that your non computer literate friend sees and insists on forwarding to everyone in his / her address book. Facebook is ful of things like this - every now and again people start posting about an app thats able to do such and such and all the ones that sound like their not true aren't. The problem is magnified somewhat since the majority of Facebook users don't know any better.

Cheers, Ben.

Hello,

Do we have any facebook users on this list? I've been hearing something twice these past week that there's an app maybe a phone based one Android or IOS based or maybe on the computer where a facebook account can be hacked despite the password. I don't know of such an app and doubt there would be one, but I've been hearing about it. Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks. Dave.
