Anonymous Threatens to Shutdown Facebook - Dude, do you have any Idea ?

Anonymous Threatens to Shutdown Facebook - Dude, do you have any Idea ?

Nov 02, 2012
Do you believe that it is possible to shut down Facebook with a cyber attack on 5th November 2012, which is not even organised in a proper way ? Few activists on internet threatened to shut down Zynga and Facebook, after the gaming giant announced it was laying off five per cent of its work force. Most obvious like other big fake claims, this claim is also not from the activist working as Anonymous Genuinely. Generally I am strong supporter of Anonymous or Wikileaks but the Idea behind Anonymous have lots of Pro and Con. I ask some Anonymous (who are actually managing major operations) to comment about the attack scheduled on 5th November by some unknown anonymous group, and their reply was simply -- " FAKE " . Facebook , Twitter and other social media sites and News organisations are giving you platform for spreading information, they are your voice with an amplifier. Do you think you can use your MIC after u...

Account protection status warning scares Facebook Users !

Account protection status warning scares Facebook Users !

Dec 29, 2011
Over the last few weeks we have been contacted by a number of members of the  our  Facebook page , concerned by a message they saw on Facebook, warning them that their account protection was " very low ". With fake anti-virus (also known as scareware) attacks becoming an ever-growing problem (they attempt to trick you into believing your computer has a security problem when it doesn't), some security-conscious Facebook users might worry that this is a similarly-styled assault, designed to scare you into taking perhaps unwise actions. Certainly the warning message gives you the impression that there's something seriously wrong with how you have defended your Facebook account. I must admit I was surprised to see the message appear on my own Facebook account as I have been quite fastidious in my security settings on the social network. So, I was curious to find out just  why  Facebook believed that my account protection status was "very low", and what they t...
