Facebook’s Official Page Hacked

October 10, 2023
Reading Time: 1 min read
in Incidents

Facebook’s official page experienced an unusual breach on October 6th, 2023, when it was hacked to post bizarre messages, including demands for the release of former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan. The incident raised concerns about the security of Facebook accounts and pages, as users were surprised by these strange posts criticizing the BCCI and demanding Imran Khan’s release. While social media hacks are not uncommon, this one stood out due to its unusual nature.

Furthermore, the breach prompted Facebook to respond swiftly, deleting the unauthorized posts and issuing an official statement acknowledging the compromise of their page. An investigation was launched, and security measures were enhanced to prevent future incidents.

Despite these actions, thousands of users had already seen the unusual messages before Facebook disabled the official page, highlighting the need for vigilance in online security.

This incident serves as a stark reminder that no platform or organization is entirely immune to cyberattacks. Users are encouraged to strengthen their social media profile security with strong, unique passwords and consider enabling two-factor authentication to protect their accounts.
