A Egyptian Hacker "Dr.FarFar" Claims To Have Hacked Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook Profile and removed the Cover Photo as shown below in a screenshot:-


To achieve this he used a private exploit. According to post on the The Hacker News  he used the Report abuse option on Zuckerberg’s Cover image, and choose, ‘I don’t like this photo of me’ and edited the URL request using "Fiddler2 Debugger" Program.

It could be possible that Mark removed his Cover Photo himself, and someone is trying to take responsibility for the changes.

Here is the you-tube demonstration video by Dr.FarFar:-

 
When it comes to the Facebook hacking, Mark Zuckerberg have became a famous target for the security researchers/hackers. Its all due to the fame gets for mocking the famous "zuck" with his easy to remember  id "4" with high privacy features enabled. I will update this if any official news encounters.         

After the Forbes website and twitter hack, Syrian Electronic Army leaked account details of over 1 Million Forbes readers. The leaked detail contains login info of users such as email id and password. The password exposed are encrypted but can be cracked by simply using hash cracking tools or also some online sites.
 All the leak was uploaded to a secure server with two versions of the dump, a text file and other was compressed version of the text file. They posted URL of the dump in a tweet.



 Referring to their other tweet it looks they managed to do a successful phishing/social engineering attack on staff writer Alex Knapp and grabbed some important login credentials, which furthermore lead to the massive Forbes user database leak.
The leaked user details look like this (data has been deliberately altered):




To recover the passwords from this exposed database you'll need a lot of computing power and also time.
Still as there are millions of email id's included in the leak can be targeted for spamming, SEO and even phishing/Social engineering attacks.

Forbes later responded to this breach in their facebook post:-
  Security message: Forbes.com was targeted in a digital attack and our publishing platform was compromised. Users' email addresses may have been exposed. The passwords were encrypted, but as a precaution, we strongly encourage Forbes readers and contributors to change their passwords on our system, and encourage them to change them on other websites if they use the same password elsewhere. We have notified law enforcement. We take this matter very seriously and apologize to the members of our community for this breach.

This breach makes a plus one to the list of victims suffered from 'SEA' hack. The Syrian Electronic Army previously has targeted big organizations such as Microsoft, CNN, Paypal, Ebay, Facebook.

Popular Supermarket Tesco suffered from a data breach. In this hack more than 2,000 of its customers’ accounts with their personal details were published on Pastebin.
The leaked data included the email addresses, plain text passwords and Tesco Clubcard point balances of 2,239 of the company’s customers.


 The hackers are said to have stolen Clubcard points from customers in a small numbers, which Tesco has agreed to provide refunds for those victims.

In the response of this breach, a Tesco spokesperson said, "We take the security of our customers' data extremely seriously and are urgently investigating these claims.”

“We have contacted all customers who may have been affected and are committed to ensuring that none of them miss out as a result of this. We will issue replacement vouchers to the very small numbers who are affected."

On the paper, the leak number looks small but it have raised the security issue for the Tesco. Tesco was suffered from breach a year ago. In that breach vouchers worth of over a hundred pounds was suddenly disappeared from the customers account.
                                    
According to some security researchers, the hackers compiled the stolen details from other websites and then found that Tesco customers used the same username and password combination as those on previous hacks.

The customers are advised to use a different password for every single online account they own. Also try to avoid the dictionary words which are easy to crack even by just guessing. Use a strong password which include lower case, upper case, numbers, special symbols which are harder to crack.

Syrian Electronic Army hacked the popular American business magazine "Forbes" on the valentines day.
The group managed to post "Hacked by the Syrian Electronics Army" article under the list of articles written by Forbes’ Steve Forbes (Chairman of Forbes Media), Travis Bradberry, Matthew Herper, Andy Greenberg, John Dobosz.

It appears the group gained the wordpress login credentials by phishing and social engineering attacks and then edited some of the topics posted on the site. 




The "SEA" also managed to hack Forbes official twitter account @forbestech and two of their staff member- @thealexknapp, @samsharf twitter account and tweeted "Syrian Electronics Army Was Here".

The reason behind the hack is said to be the Forbes hatred full post's and the lie's about Syria. Currently the situation is under control. All post,Tweets by SEA are removed also no harm was caused to the site in this hack.
                             Anyway @Forbes, Don't worry. Just a bad valentines. LOL :D

iOS is mainly known for its security and the exciting features. Recently a major flaw was found in Apple's iOS 7. Berlin's Security Research Labs, known as SRL, founded the flaw in apple's "Find My Phone" service.
                  SRL security researcher's says that the bug is easy to exploit also could potentially give criminals/theif enough time to break into iPhones, and gain complete control of user's data and access email accounts.


To make this happen the Hacker requires physical access to that perticular apple device also the passcode or Touch ID function must be disabled.

                    Apple will fix this new iOS flaw soon in their next update. Until then make sure you've locked your apple device with Touch ID or the Passcode also don’t lose your apple device, Obviously. Otherwise you won’t be able to track it.

Facebook introduced new application "Paper" for iPhone users which is currently going wild on the store. This Facebook's new "Paper" application has created a controversy by using the same name as FiftyThree’s popular drawing application which is also a free download in the US App Store.




The FiftyThree's "Paper" Application lets you capture and share the ideas over the web. It was so popular in 2012 that Apple named it the Best App of the Year. It has also been honored with awards from AIGA, IxDA, TIME magazine and Communication Arts.
                                         The other "Paper" Application which is introduced by Facebook, helps you to explore and share stories from your friends. It will be like a Newspaper. You can also customize your Paper with your favourite sections, Interests and themes. You can craft your own stories and see exactly what your posts will look like before you share them.
          
Georg Petschnigg, CEO of FiftyThree says the company owns the trademark for "Paper by FiftyThree," also says his team has been in talks with Facebook since Thursday. So far, at least, Facebook appears in no mood on its willingness to cooperate. Till now there's no comment on the situation from facebook and also the well known Zuck.

If the trademark is ‘Paper by FiftyThree,’ then they don’t have a case and FiftyThree wins directly in this name fight. The CEO Of FiftyThree have asked Facebook to stop using their brand name and Change the name of new application. “We’re keeping all of our options open,” he said in a blog post.

Previously The social giant Facebook have bullied other companies that tried to use the word “book” in their name or logo. Honestly, considering the sociopathic behaviour of "Zuck"  I'd suggest FiftyThree to create another app and name it as "Facebook" then see what happens. Haha ;)
Cheerio!
