Facebook Hacking

So in the past few days I've seen a lot of people post ABOUT recent hackings on Facebook, but I hadn't actually seen any myself. So I decided to look into it to see what everyone was freaking out about. Apparently within a span of 48 hours pornographic, violent and just plain disgustingly graphic images were flooding people's newsfeeds and message inboxes. This of course wasn't the first time Facebook hacking has happened, but its reportedly one of the quickest spreading hacks that anyone has ever seen. Facebook users were posting about the nasty images on Twitter and claiming that they were officially leaving the social media site because of what they had seen. CNN posted that Facebook reported that they have eliminated almost all of the spam caused by the hack and are working to better improve their systems to prevent such an attack in the future. Other articles and reports online have offered advice on how users themselves can prevent their own pages from any hackers. It's pretty plain and simple, DON'T CLICK ON IT IF IT SEEMS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.
