"How can people as 'sophisticated' as Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook founder, with members of nearly 600 million people in the world, very careless enough to become a victim of hackers?" Thus the question was Internet users in the world.
According to Sophos’s research, hackers are not just targeting ordinary people. Even activists IT can be the victims of hackers, including the founder of Facebook Mark Zuckerberg.
"I suspect, at least two ways that make Zuckerberg conceded. As people in general, the possibility Zuckerberg careless use a password that is easy to guess," said Graham Cluley, Sophos analyst, as quoted by the Telegraph, on Thursday (27/01/2011).
But for the first pattern, Cluley believes it is very unlikely. Most likely, continued Cluley, most likely Zuckerberg became the target hackers using Firesheep trap when using the wireless network unencrypted wifi in public places, such as cafes, hotels, airports or other locations.
Firesheep can be infiltrated through a wifi network and allows hackers to get passwords in accounts that protected only by using the same network was encrypted.
"It's hard to know why and how the fan page Zuckerberg could be hacked. Maybe he's using a laptop that already contains the malware so that hackers can retrieve the username and password so that information can be used to attack his fan page. But I think the two pattern of the first is very possible, "said Cluley.
Cluley continued that this event would really make Facebook shy. With this intrusion is the same action informs the owner up another account if social networking was very weak and insecure.
In his own fan page, Zuckerberg has approximately two million fans that always regularly updated.
Network security expert was also asked users up for a password that is difficult to guess, and not a word derived from the dictionary. In fact, they are also advised to download the browser plug-ins that will automatically ask for an encrypted wifi network so that the user secure when accessing password-protected sites, like Facebook.
