Hackers got user data from Meta with forged request
Facebook owner Meta gave user information to hackers who pretended to be law enforcement officials last year, a company source said Wednesday (Mar 30), highlighting the risks of a measure used in urgent cases.
The process of placing bets while as โปรโมชั่น SLOTXO well as suggesting games for playing, players can apply them accordingly, and they will have good techniques to share on a regular basis.
Imposters were able to get details like physical addresses or phone numbers in response to falsified "emergency data requests," which can slip past privacy barriers, said the source who requested anonymity due to the sensitivity of the matter.
Criminal hackers have been compromising email accounts or websites tied to police or government and claiming they can't wait for a judge's order for information because it's an "urgent matter of life and death," cyber expert Brian Krebs wrote Tuesday.
Bloomberg news agency, which originally reported Meta being targeted, also reported that Apple had provided customer data in response to forged data requests.
Apple and Meta did not officially confirm the incidents, but provided statements citing their policies in handling information demands.
When US law enforcement officials want data on a social media account's owner or an associated cell phone number, they must submit an official court-ordered warrant or subpoena, Krebs wrote.
But in urgent cases authorities can make an "emergency data request," which "largely bypasses any official review and does not require the requestor to supply any court-approved documents," he added.
