Exploiting "Facebook Trusted Friend" Security Feature

Last week Facebook announced that in one day 600,000 accounts possibly get hacked. Another possible solution for Facebook to combat security issues is to find 3 to 5 "Trusted friends". Facebook will be adding two new security features that will allow users to regain control of their account if it gets hijacked.

In Facebook's case, the keys are codes, and the user can choose from three to five "Trusted friends" who are then provided with a code. If you ever get locked out of your account (and you can't access your email to follow the link after resetting your Facebook password), you gather all the codes and use them to gain access to it again.  This method is used by hackers to hack most of the Facebook account using little bit of Social Engineering.


How to hack using this feature ? 


For this technique you need to create 3 fake Facebook account and you need to surely add these as friends into your victims account whose account you are going to hack.
After success full addition of your fake accounts into victims account as friends follow the below steps .:


1. Go to Facebook and click Forgot your Password ?


2. Than you will get something like below just enter the details you know about him enter his Username, email address and full name.


3. After entering everything check it again and click on submit.
4. After succeful search for the user Facebook will show some information about how many emails are linked to the account and there is simple option saying 
No Longer Access to These click that one.
5. Now it will promote you to enter a new email address on which you will get the password resetting option so enter your email address I suggest you creating a Fake or Temporary email address for safety purpose.


6. Than it will promote you to enter the Security well if you have some security guess about that one than that’s ok but if you don’t know it than simply enter 3 wrong answers and it will take you to the 3 trusted friends recovery page like below.

Facebook CEO says company will ‘launch something awesome next week



Facebook CEO says company will ‘launch something awesome’ next week



Speaking to reporters on Thursday, Facebook’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg said that the social network has plans to “launch something awesome” next week. There’s no official word on what will be announced, but we suspect it’s going to be the new iPhone photo-sharing service that we saw just last week. The service — which looked amazing in the leaked screen shots — will likely compete with other applications such as Instagram and Path. Rumor has it that inside Facebook headquarters, the new photo sharing app has been dubbed either “WithPeople,” or “Hovertown.” It’s entirely possible that Zuckerberg will also take the wraps off of his company’s native Facebook iPad app, since it would likely fit well into the photo-sharing ecosystem. Lastly, it’s possible Facebook will detail the next steps it’s taking with its Facebook Places check-in service, too, but given Zuckerberg’s use of the word “launch,” we’re not so sure. It remains unclear what day the announcement will be made.
