honesty always wins

Shap · 07-14-2008, 02:51 PM

Damn no facebook for 10 years. That sucks. I'd pay another 500k to avoid that

Robbie · 07-14-2008, 02:53 PM

Wow! I'd like to get paid a half-million for every time somebody tries a brute force attack on my password file. I'd make 50 million a day everyday.

Linguist · 07-14-2008, 02:53 PM

It said tried to access the site over 200,000 times - I wonder if they were harvesting the data or actually trying to hack the servers. If they were harvesting it then ouch, that's brutal.

GTS Mark · 07-14-2008, 02:55 PM

That's a lot of cake

Evil E · 07-14-2008, 03:06 PM

Well they did it from their offices and one employee's home, so it was pretty easy to trace back...

JamesK · 07-14-2008, 03:08 PM

They hacked it? Anyone got more details?

Evil E · 07-14-2008, 03:12 PM

I don't remember the story really but my guess is that they were data mining some profiles like Linguist is saying and that from the TOS of facebook that would possibly considered "hacking" or "unauthorized use".

the defendants attempted to access Facebook’s servers at least 200,000 times.

Nice to know SlickCash is such a standup company run by standup bros.
