Nearly everything in the Facebook ‘hacking’ reports are wrong
two key points to remember…
- None of what I just described involves ‘hacking’ Facebook or exploiting a bug. Instead, it all revolves around the use of a feature that Facebook provided to all developers and (at least) tens of thousands took advantage of.
- The data collected was not internal Facebook data. It was data that developers (s̵c̵r̵a̵p̵e̵d̵ ) accessed* from the profiles of people who downloaded their apps (and their friends).

All login attempts came from instances hosted on cloud service platforms and targeted 48 businesses. The “slow-and-low” pace of attacks indicates threat actors were trying to stay under the radar; for each business, only a handful of senior employees were targeted. All those who were hit have been notified.

‘KnockKnock’: New Attack on Office 365 Discovered
Do these new attacks trouble you?
Microsoft’s Office 365 suite of cloud applications is now the most popular cloud service in the world by user count. While this has fast-tracked Microsoft’s path to becoming a cloud-first enterprise software company, it has also put a bulls-eye on Office 365, making it a target of choice for hackers. …KnockKnock has been active since May 2017 and is currently still active. To go undetected, the hacking activity occurs in short stints, averaging 3-5 attempts of guessing the password of the system account before moving on to a different account within an organization. Moreover, it doesn’t display the same level of activity across multiple organizations. As it ramps up its number of attempts in one organization, it ramps down in others, further making detection difficult.
