Facebook hacked 12th of May 2011

Facebook has today been hacked and messages have been posted all over users profiles without their permission. A user account by the name of Nicole Santos seems to have been used in the attack. Apparently an application was installed on users profiles that caused spam messages to be sent to users walls and potentially their friends walls too. Messages included telling users to "kill themselves" and other more obscene content. The security breach seems to have been quickly dealt with and disappeared as quickly as it appeared. This comes as Symantec recently released information about a security flaw in Facebook that left the potential for this very same thing to happen.

Facebook has now become the number one website in America after recently overtaking Google and will need to safe guard itself from future attacks of this nature.
