Facebook Notifies Users of Potential Nation-State Attacks (facebook.com)
An anonymous reader writes: Facebook has announced its plans to notify users if they are under threat from state-sponsored cyberattacks. The social media giant proposes a notification system triggered when its algorithms suspect nation-state activity. The alert will pop up on the user's Facebook page, warning them of the danger and advising them to switch on login approvals, which require the individual to enter a security code sent to them from Facebook.
A service that sells personal info of narcissists is willing to tell them they are important in exchange for their cell phone number?
Color me shocked!
Sorry, but Facebook is an entity who I fully believe will lie to you if it means they can get more information about you.
ZOMG, teh nation states are the hax0rs, give us your cell phone number, three additional email accounts and their passwords, your credit card number, and the names of your parents.
I believe this will be purely FUD and other bullshit, which will somehow benefit Facebook.

Whenever you see the iconic FaceBook logo on a page, heads up.

If telephones are outlawed, then only outlaws will have telephones.
