Facebook has hacked five million (50 million) user accounts by hacking their confidential information. Facebook authorities on Friday said they told police on Wednesday.
The attackers got the chance to attack Facebook through a feature called "View As". Users see how their account looks to others through View Azure. This feature is known to show how a friend is seen by Facebook friends.
Users with infected users are automatically logged out and receive login instructions again.
Guy Rojen, Vice President of the Department of Marketing of Facebook, said the security of the accounts of five million users with potentially more than four million potentially damaged victims were confirmed.
On Friday, Facebook shares decreased by 3 percent on Friday.
At that time, the incident took place when the US and other countries engaged in legal battles to prove themselves as the company was able to provide the security of their user information.
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg said at a press conference on Friday, "We are taking the security issue more strictly."
Jeff Pollard, vice president and chief analyst at the US market research firm Forrest, said, "Since Facebook has a large amount of data, they should be ready for such an attack. It is normal for hackers to attack where there is information. '
The BBC did not find any answer to the BBC whether it was going to investigate inside the company or if anyone involved with it was asked to do something to bring him under the jurisdiction.
