Comments on: FBController allows for hijacking of Facebook accounts

A new tool dubbed "FBController" is designed to allow people to take control over Facebook accounts with just the cookie data, and could allow attackers to manage multiple hijacked accounts.

Azim must translate into 'Tool'

Well at least he isn't answering a phone at a call center ;) There is a certain thrill for figuring out things like this. It's been at least 15 years since I used to tinker around with the whole hacking/phreaking stuff, but I can see where he is coming from.

What do you think he is doing while he is reading off the script in the call center. Also who cares about a compromised facebook account, I don't even see why we should be concerned. Only an idiot uses facebook for something either than a few laughs and to meet guys pretending to be girls so who really cares, least it isn't something important like twitter.

Congrats to the guy for revealing more security flaws before the bad guys get to them. Now Facebook is going to be twice as motivated to fix the bugs before real "crackers" get their hands on a FBController+virus utility.

As a web site owner of safety and security products using FaceBook as one of my social marketing venues, this is a bit disturbing but it sounds like FaceBook has it under control. Thanks, Elinor, for this information.
