Facebook will warn users to hack by countries
Facebook users being hacked by a country, there now get a mention. Writes that Facebook's security chief, Alex Stamos.
Users whose Facebook thinks they have become targets or victims, are asked through this message to protect their additional registration process. So users will every time they log in using an unknown device on Facebook get a code by SMS they have to fill. In this way, Facebook is trying to build in an extra layer of protection.
Two-step Authentication
This additional layer, which is also called two-step authentication, is used by more companies.That Facebook links this advice so aware of hacks is remarkable. The platform says to do this because hacks commissioned by governments, such as China and Russia, are often much more sophisticated and dangerous than hacks of others.
How Facebook concludes that there is a hack Stamos will not say. He also says that this message only appears when there is "evidence which supports our conclusion."
Or media set this message after users have been hacked by other countries is unknown.
