Learn from Facebook account hack, 5 clauses for using the net safely

The other day, President Sarkozy of France suddenly made a remark that gave up on re-running in 2012. Although it is big news if it is true, this is actually a message that Facebook account was hacked and written without permission.

Not only on Facebook, it is difficult to check whether the remark is the one of the person on the Internet, or whether the account is the principal in the first place. So, the Security Evangelist (so-called public relations officer) shows 5 clauses on how to use the Internet safely.

Details are as below.
President Sarkozy of France suddenly made a remarks to give up on re-running in 2012 on Facebook, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg said, "If you need money on Facebook, why will not you let users invest?" It was this week that I sent out a message. If these are the truth, it is quite a ridiculous thing, but the actual situation was a message that Facebook accounts hacked and hackers wrote without permission.

This is Facebook's page of President Sarkozy who was hacked. There seems to be many misspellings in the message.


This is Mr. Zuckerberg's. I write the spelling of the Nobel Prize as "price" instead of "prize".


G Data SoftwareEddie Willems who is a security and evangelist of this guy speculate that these accounts are not very concerned about password management for logging in, or that they have used an open WiFi without a password It is.

On top of that, the problem is "Identity identification"When"CloudIn that respect, Willemus points out.

This time, the message that Mr. Zuckerberg's message was posted over 1800 times since it was posted (it is "Like it!") And more than 400 comments were added. However, I do not know who wrote what the truth is written on the net. Whether President Sarkozy or Mr. Zuckerberg, there is no time to list the example that "the person himself wrote, but the reality is different" example.

Also, in the cloud, malicious humans can easily impersonate because you can not prove you are yourself, a bot, or someone else's impersonation. Mr. Willemus expressed this condition as "In the state where the other party can not see each other" in the cloud.

If the authentication method is different from the current method, it is possible to suppress such risk, but if Facebook is able to implement its authentication method all around the world, there is another problem, cost burden to users There are also, it is quite difficult.

Therefore, Mr. Willems showed five important clauses for using the net safely, as follows.

1.Use "hard" password that is hard to guess
2.To be conscious of the fact that the communication line being used is open to the world
3.Use high performance antivirus software (security software)
Four.Using the Internet with "good sense"
5. (as fundamentally important)Never neglect attention

Speaking of fundamentally it is too basic and it is a matter of course that if you are a person touching the Internet for a long time, it is a matter of course that it is a matter of not being enlightened much compared to the importance of the contents.

Mr. Hiroyuki Nishimura (Hiroyuki) who is a 2 -channel creator once said "It is difficult (using bulletin boards) to be a person who can not be guessed that a lie is a lieI said, but if it is not a person who is considered natural, it may be difficult to use the net. Not only on Facebook, it seems that the mental attitude required on the net does not change in any net service at any age.
