600,000 hacks a day, welcome to Facebook
Every 24 hours 600,000 Facebook accounts are subject to attempted hacking or violation, Facebook has revealed.
The Social Network™ disclosed details of hacking activity as it unveiled new measures to protect user’s privacy. “We are adapting and responding to new threats everyday and will continue to roll out new ways to protect your account,” Facebook said.
In a blog post, Facebook revealed new tools to help users access their accounts if they are locked out and help prove your identity through your friends. “It's sort of similar to giving a house key to your friends when you go on vacation - pick the friends you most trust in case you need their help,” it explains. ‘Trusted friends’ allows users to nominate a few friends as a default measure that will be given access codes to your account if you cannot access it.
