Facebook used to hack bank accounts

Facebook used to hack bank accounts

Most of us use Facebook to keep in touch with our family and friends, posting up our thoughts and daily goings-on without giving much thought after that. Well, Iain Wood has other plans with Facebook, having spent up to 18 hours each day online, where he works out passwords from personal information that are posted on social networking sites by his acquiantances and friends. In fact, Iain targeted folks who were living in his block of flats, where he used his friends' personal details in order to get beyond basic security checks, hacking into their bank accounts in order to siphon away more than £35,000 across the time span of 2 years.
