Attacks to Facebook pages of celebrities become popular

  Last Sunday the president of France Nicolas Sarkozy has refused participation in elections on a post of the president in 2012. On extreme to a measure, all admirers of the president on its page in Facebook could read it. But, as it was found out later, it were at all Sarkozy words. If to look narrowly more attentively at this post, it is possible to notice grammatical errors and absence of the accents used in the French language.

                                                                                      


   The message was the following:


«Dear compatriots, in view of conditions in which our country stays, I have decided not to stand on a post of the president in 2012 after the termination of operating term».

Certainly, the message has been written not to Nicolas Sarkozy, and the hacker who has cracked its page in Facebook.

But this strange message was at all unique, appeared in recent time in Facebook. On January, 26th on Mark Zukerberg's page, CEO Facebook there was a following post:

«Yes breaking will come true: If Facebook wants money, but thus he doesn't address in banks why Facebook not to allow the users to be put in Facebook as in social business? Why Facebook not to be transformed at all to" social business "thus what it was described by the Nobel winner Mohammed Junus?

This very day the post has collected 1 800 «Likes» and more than four hundred comments. But, besides, Mark Zukerberg, and one more malefactor has written it at all.

«Such accounts are usually created by managers on marketing or PR which directly I work with celebrities, — Eddi Williams (Eddy Willems), the evangelist on safety G Data Software tells. — Therefore frequently pages aren't protected by difficult passwords, and at the first attack of hackers the information for an input on a profile risks to appear in open access. Especially, if users comes on the page, I use free wifi, its personal information becomes more vulnerable».  

Such problem is in many respects caused by absence of serious tools for identification of users and application of "cloudy" technologies with which help it is possible to come on any account. The system can be never assured, who exactly comes on a certain profile: the owner or the malefactor. Therefore threat of placing of the incorrect information is great enough.

«If in Facebook used more serious means of identification of users risks of loss of the information would be minimum. Though today in this direction they favourably differ from other social networks, — Eddi Williams continues. — on the other hand, working out of such protection frames — only one problem, the second — their introduction all over the world. In some countries local laws can not admit such check of users, especially global introduction will be enough spends, as for social networks, and their users».

Experts G Data will advise to use more difficult passwords of access on the profiles in social networks, not to use free wifi a network and to apply well-tried remedies of anti-virus protection.
