Corretta falla in Facebook

Spread the love

Dopo 15 giorni dalle segnalazioni di vari utenti, e soprattutto a partire dalle segnalazioni di vari blog, Facebook si è impegnato per risolvere definitivamente una falla nel proprio sistema di sicurezza riguardo i dati personali degli iscritti. Fatto sta che la notizia non è riuscita a diffondersi al punto tale da permettere ai male intenzionati di effettuare upload “malefici” per poter poi approfittare dei dati sensibili di ignari utenti. La falla identificata era insita nelle query delle impostazioni della privacy degli utenti che non venivano realmente attuate dal sito. Cosa c’era di losco? Ebbene, seppur nei settaggi della privacy, l’utente avesse deciso di nascondere determinate informazioni personali come il luogo di residenza oppure il sesso, questi erano visibili nella scheda delle “Info” dell’utente, seppur questo non risultasse un nostro amico. Questa tipologia di informazioni, è da definirsi di primaria importanza, anche perchè di solito i dati di riconoscimento utente (sia username, che posta elettronica, o ancor peggio la password) sono per semplicità celati nelle informazioni personali come la data di nascita, il luogo di nascita o una credenza insita. Secondo le fonti che hanno controllato il bug costantemente per comprendere la sicurezza dei propri dati, la risoluzione da parte di Big F (un veterano ormai nel risolvere le falle nascoste) ha impiegato oltre 15 giorni nella realizzazione di una modifica ad hoc nei rami del database per permettere la corretta impostazione dei valori definiti “nascosti” nelle schede riguardanti la privacy.

Il comparto privacy è sempre stato un problema che ha attanagliato le file di Facebook sia dalla sua nascita, e d’altronde, un network con una utenza così vasta, non può di certo permettersi distrazioni.
Il team di Facebook ha però dalla sua, il vantaggio della scarsa diffusione della notizia, che ha evitato a molteplici “truffatori” di approfittare dei dati personali di alcuni ignari utenti. Questo dimostra che la diffusione dell’informazione non è sempre un vantaggio per tutti.

  1. Its like you read my mind! You seem to know so much about
    this, like you wrote the book in it or something.
    I think that you could do with a few pics to drive the message
    home a bit, but other than that, this is magnificent blog.
    A great read. I’ll certainly be back.

  4. Woah! I’m really digging the template/theme of this site.
    It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s very
    hard to get that “perfect balance” between superb usability
    and visual appeal. I must say you have done a amazing job with this.

    Also, the blog loads super fast for me on Internet explorer.
    Superb Blog!

  8. Today, I went to the beachfront with my children. I found a sea
    shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and
    screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.

    She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but
    I had to tell someone!

  9. Very good blog! Do you have any hints for aspiring writers?
    I’m hoping to start my own site soon but I’m a little lost on everything.
    Would you recommend starting with a free platform like WordPress
    or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m completely confused
    .. Any recommendations? Appreciate it!

  10. Good day! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering which blog
    platform are you using for this site? I’m getting fed up of WordPress
    because I’ve had issues with hackers and I’m looking at options for another platform.
    I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

  14. I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog
    and was curious what all is needed to get set up? I’m assuming having a blog
    like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very internet savvy so I’m not 100% certain. Any suggestions or
    advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

  15. Hiya! Quick question that’s totally off topic. Do you know how
    to make your site mobile friendly? My blog looks weird when browsing
    from my apple iphone. I’m trying to find a
    theme or plugin that might be able to fix this problem. If you have
    any recommendations, please share. Cheers!

  17. Its such as you read my thoughts! You seem to understand a lot approximately this,
    such as you wrote the book in it or something.
    I feel that you just could do with a few p.c. to pressure the message home a bit, but
    instead of that, that is wonderful blog. An excellent read.
    I will definitely be back.
