Facebook Notifies Users of Potential Nation-State Attacks (facebook.com)

Posted by Soulskill on from the oddly-specific-public-services dept.

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.

    There's already an alert system to signal you that FaceBook is invading your privacy....
    Whenever you see the iconic FaceBook logo on a page, heads up.
