Interestingly several of my wife's hotmail using Facebook friends accounts appeared to have been owned last night. Has someone found a new similar exploit?


The exploit may not have been patched in the mobile version of facebook or may still work using a hotmail alias (passport.net or w/e). These are just guesses. I dug into Facebook security a while back and they seemed to have very little protection in place on the mobile site.


I believe so. A friend with a hotmail account (although I don't know if he uses this hotmail account to login to FB) got his FB account hacked couple of days ago.
