Russian Hacker Selling 1.5M Facebook Accounts

Sir Codelot writes "A hacker who calls himself Kirllos has obtained and is now offering to sell 1.5 million Facebook IDs at astonishingly low prices — $25 per 1,000 IDs for users with fewer than 10 friends and $45 per 1,000 IDs for users with more than 10 friends. Looking at the numbers, Kirllos has stolen the IDs of one out of every 300 Facebook users. Quoting: 'VeriSign director of cyber intelligence Rick Howard told the New York Times that it appeared close to 700,000 had already been sold. Kirllos would have earned at least $25,000 from the scam. Howard told the newspaper that it was not apparent whether the accounts and passwords were legitimate, but a Russian underground hacking magazine reported it had tested some of Kirllos' previous samples and managed to get into people's accounts.'"

I'M SORRY ANONYMOUS COWARD, I CAN'T LET YOU DO THAT.

Filter error: Don't use so many caps. It's like YELLING. Nope, I'm just trying to emulate what was done on Tron and later revamped on Southpark. Stop being so fucking judgmental, you don't know me !
