Facebook Security Breach Gave Hackers Control to<br />50 Million Accounts The social media giant made a blog post<br />about the flaw discovered by<br />its engineering team. Hackers found a weakness in the company’s code within its “View As” feature. “View As” lets users see what<br />their profile looks to other users<br />on Facebook. This gave hackers access to tokens to<br />tap into these 50 million accounts. These digital keys let people stay logged into the platform without<br />re-entering a password. The company suspended the feature while it reviews their security and<br />notifies law enforcement. Shares of Facebook dropped<br />nearly 3% following the news.
