50 million user accounts hacked in Facebook data breach
By Kevin Reed
5 October 2018
Facebook reported on September 28 that hackers had exploited a technical flaw in the social media platform and obtained the user information of about 50 million accounts. In this largest ever breach since the company was founded 14 years ago, the hackers found a security hole in the “View As” feature—that allows users to see what their profile looks like from other Facebook accounts—to gain access to login details.
Among the hacked accounts were those of Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg. In a Security Update blog post on Facebook’s Newsroom page, VP of Product Development Guy Rosen wrote that the hackers had used the “View As” feature to “steal Facebook access tokens which they could then use to take over people’s accounts. Access tokens are the equivalent of digital keys that keep people logged in to Facebook so they don’t need to re-enter their password every time they use the app.”
Rosen further explained that the vulnerability had been fixed, that law enforcement had been notified of the breach and that a thorough security review was being conducted to determine if the compromised accounts had been accessed or misused. The access tokens of both the affected 50 million accounts as well as another 40 million accounts that have been subject to the “View As” look-up in the last year have been reset, Rosen said.
One of the more troubling aspects of the hack is that access to Facebook account details can also enable access to many other user accounts. For example, there are hundreds of apps—among the most popular are Spotify and Instagram—that allow people to use Facebook credentials as a third-party login to their other accounts.
As in the report last spring of the harvesting of personal Facebook data by Cambridge Analytica, the Facebook “View As” hack is being seized upon as further evidence of Russian meddling and to demand government intervention and control of social media. Some news outlets immediately began raising the likelihood of “rogue state” involvement in the breach without presenting any evidence backing it up.
Virginia Democratic Senator Mark Warner released a statement on the same day that Facebook made the announcement that said, “This is another sobering indicator that Congress needs to step up and take action to protect the privacy and security of social media users.” Additionally, the Irish Data Protection Commission opened a formal investigation into the data breach under the terms of the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) that could result in a fine of up to $1.63 billion.
During a conference call, Facebook executives reported that company engineers noticed a problem on September 16 when an unusual “spike in traffic” appeared on their systems. It was not known initially if this spike was evidence of malicious activity. According to the executives, it took another nine days before the engineers uncovered the massive security breach.
Security experts familiar with the complex technical issues involved in the Facebook hack have said that it may be impossible to trace the source of the attack or “connect the dots” in order to identify the hackers.
Over the past year and a half, Facebook has increasingly cooperated with the US government and state intelligence agencies in promoting the unsubstantiated claims of anti-Russian meddling during the 2016 elections and the need to promote “trusted sources” in opposition to “fake news.” More recently, Facebook worked with the Digital Forensic Lab of the Atlantic Council to shut down pages, posts and accounts connected with a purported, but still unproven, Iranian influence campaign.
These efforts are part of a broader drive to censor left-wing speech across all social media platforms, gather intelligence on political activists and create a framework for disabling accounts and publishing activity deemed “divisive” or “inauthentic.” The technology monopolies and the state fear that the social media platforms will be used increasingly as tools for coordinating and organizing the growing social and political struggle of the working class and young people. The recent data breach—regardless of who is responsible for it—plays directly into these strategic aims of the ruling elite and strengthens the instruments of censorship and state repression.

La Raza Welfare State of California
A fifth-generation Californian laments his state’s ongoing
economic collapse.
By Steve Baldwin
American Spectator, October 19, 2017
What’s clear is that the producers are leaving
the state and the takers are coming in. Many of the takers are illegal aliens,
now estimated to number over 2.6 million. The Federation for American Immigration
Reform estimates that California spends $22 billion on government services for
illegal aliens, including welfare, education, Medicaid, and criminal justice
system costs.
BLOG: MANY DISPUTE CALIFORNIA’S
EXPENDITURES FOR THE LA RAZA WELFARE STATE IN MEXIFORNIA JUST AS THEY DISPUTE
THE NUMBER OF ILLEGALS. APPROXIMATELY HALF THE POPULATION OF CA IS NOW MEXICAN
AND BREEDING ANCHOR BABIES FOR WELFARE LIKE BUNNIES. THE $22 BILLION IS STATE
EXPENDITURE ONLY. COUNTIES PAY OUT MORE WITH LOS ANGELES COUNTY LEADING AT OVER
A BILLION DOLLARS PAID OUT YEARLY TO MEXICO’S ANCHOR BABY BREEDERS. NOW
MULTIPLY THAT BY THE NUMBER OF COUNTIES IN CA AND YOU START TO GET AN IDEA OF
THE STAGGERING WELFARE STATE MEXICO AND THE DEMOCRAT PARTY HAVE ERECTED SANS
ANY LEGALS VOTES. ADD TO THIS THE FREE ENTERPRISE HOSPITAL AND CLINIC COST FOR
LA RAZA’S “FREE” MEDICAL WHICH IS ESTIMATED TO BE ABOUT $1.5 BILLION PER YEAR.
Liberals claim they more than make that up
with taxes paid, but that’s simply not true. It’s not even close. FAIR
estimates illegal aliens in California contribute only $1.21 billion in tax
revenue, which means they cost California $20.6 billion, or at least $1,800 per
household.
Nonetheless, open
border advocates, such as Facebook Chairman Mark Zuckerberg, claim illegal aliens are a net benefit
to California with little evidence to support such an assertion. As the Center
for Immigration Studies has documented, the vast majority of illegals are poor,
uneducated, and with few skills. How does accepting millions of illegal aliens
and then granting them access to dozens of welfare programs benefit
California’s economy? If illegal aliens were contributing to the economy in any
meaningful way, California, with its 2.6 million illegal aliens, would be
booming.
Furthermore, the complexion of illegal aliens
has changed with far more on welfare and committing crimes than those who
entered the country in the 1980s. Heather Mac Donald of the Manhattan
Institute has testified before a Congressional committee that in 2004, 95% of
all outstanding warrants for murder in Los Angeles were for illegal aliens; in
2000, 23% of all Los Angeles County jail inmates were illegal aliens and that in
1995, 60% of Los Angeles’s largest street gang, the 18th Street gang, were
illegal aliens. Granted,
those statistics are old, but if you talk to any California law enforcement
officer, they will tell you it’s much worse today. The problem is that the Brown
administration will not release any statewide data on illegal alien crimes.
That would be insensitive. And now that California has declared itself a
“sanctuary state,” there is little doubt this sends a message south of the
border that will further escalate illegal immigration into the state.
"If the racist
"Sensenbrenner Legislation" passes the US Senate, there is no doubt
that a massive civil disobedience movement will emerge. Eventually labor union
power can merge with the immigrant civil rights and "Immigrant
Sanctuary" movements to enable us to either form a new political
party or to do heavy duty reforming of the existing Democratic Party. The next
and final steps would follow and that is to elect our own governors of all the
states within Aztlan."
Indeed, California goes out of its way to
attract illegal aliens. The state has even created government programs that
cater exclusively to illegal aliens. For example, the State Department of Motor
Vehicles has offices that only process driver licenses for illegal aliens. With
over a million illegal aliens now driving in California, the state felt
compelled to help them avoid the long lines the rest of us must endure at the
DMV. And
just recently, the state-funded University of California system announced it
will spend $27 million on financial aid for illegal aliens. They’ve even taken out radio spots on
stations all along the border, just to make sure other potential illegal border
crossers hear about this program. I can’t afford college education for all my four sons, but my
taxes will pay for illegals to get a college education.
If
Immigration Creates Wealth, Why Is California America's Poverty Capital?
California
used to be home to America's largest and most affluent middle
class. Today, it is America's poverty
capital. What went wrong? In a word:
immigration. According to the U.S. Census Bureau'...: The Golden
State is peddling fool's gold lately.
California used to be home to America's largest and most
affluent middle class. Today, it is America's poverty
capital. What went wrong? In a word: immigration.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau's Official Poverty Measure, California's poverty rate hovers
around 15 percent. But this figure is misleading: the Census Bureau
measures poverty relative to a uniform national standard, which doesn't account
for differences in living costs between states – the cost of taxes, housing,
and health care are higher in California than in Oklahoma, for
example. Accounting for these differences reveals that California's real poverty rate is 20.6 percent – the highest in America, and nearly twice the national
average of 12.7 percent.
Likewise, income inequality in California is the second-highest in America, behind only New York. In fact, if California were an
independent country, it would be the 17th most unequal country on Earth,
nestled comfortably between Honduras and Guatemala. Mexico is
slightly more egalitarian. California is far more unequal than the
"social democracies" it emulates: Canada is the 111th most
unequal nation, while Norway is far down the list at number 153 (out of 176
countries). In terms of income inequality, California has more in
common with banana republics than other "social democracies."
More Government, More Poverty
High taxes, excessive regulations, and a lavish welfare state – these are
the standard explanations for California's poverty epidemic. They
have some merit. For example, California has both the highest
personal income tax rate and the highest sales tax in America, according
to Politifact.
Not only are California's taxes high, but successive
"progressive" governments have swamped the state in a sea of red
tape. Onerous regulations cripple small businesses and retard
economic growth. Kerry Jackson, a fellow with the Pacific Research
Institute, gives a few specific examples of how excessive government regulation
hurts California's poor. He writes in a recent op-ed for the Los Angeles Times:
Extensive environmental regulations aimed at reducing carbon dioxide
emissions make energy more expensive, also hurting the poor. By some
estimates, California energy costs are as much as 50% higher than the national
average. Jonathan A. Lesser of Continental Economics ... found that
"in 2012, nearly 1 million California households faced ... energy
expenditures exceeding 10% of household income."
Some government regulation is necessary and desirable, but most of
California's is not. There is virtue in governing with a "light
touch."
Finally, California's welfare state is, perhaps paradoxically, a source
of poverty in the state. The Orange Country Register reports that California's
social safety net is comparable in scale to those found in Europe:
In California a mother with two children under the age of 5
who participates in these major welfare programs – Temporary Assistance for
Needy Families, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (food stamps),
housing assistance, home energy assistance, Special Supplemental Nutrition
Program for Women, Infants and Children – would receive a benefits package
worth $30,828 per year.
... [Similar] benefits in Europe ranged from $38,588 per
year in Denmark to just $1,112 in Romania. The California benefits
package is higher than in well-known welfare states as France ($17,324),
Germany ($23,257) and even Sweden ($22,111).
Although welfare states ideally help
the poor, reality is messy. There are three main problems with the
welfare state. First, it incentivizes poverty by rewardingthe poor with government
handouts that are often far more valuable than a job. This can be
ameliorated to some degree by imposing work requirements on welfare recipients,
but in practice, such requirements are rarely imposed. Second,
welfare states are expensive. This means
higher taxes and therefore slower economic growth and fewer job opportunities
for everyone – including the poor.
Finally, welfare states are magnets for the poor. Whether
through domestic migration or foreign immigration, poor people flock to places
with generous welfare states. This is logical from the immigrant's
perspective, but it makes little sense from the taxpayer's. This
fact is why socialism and open borders arefundamentally incompatible.
Why Big Government?
Since 1960, California's population
exploded from 15.9 to 39 million people. The growth
was almost entirely due to immigration – many people came from other states,
but the majority came from abroad. The Public Policy
Institute of California estimates that 10 million immigrants currently
reside in California. This works out to 26 percent of the state's
population.
This figure includes 2.4 million illegal aliens, although
a recent study from Yale University suggests that the true number of aliens is at least
double that. Modifying the initial
figure implies that nearly one in three Californians is an
immigrant. This is not to disparage California's
immigrant population, but it is madness to deny that such a large influx of
people has changed California's society and economy.
Importantly, immigrants vote
Democrat by a ratio higher than 2:1, according to a report from the Center
for Immigration Studies. In California, immigration has
increased the pool of likely Democrat voters by nearly 5 million people,
compared to just 2.4 million additional likely Republican
voters. Not only does this almost guarantee Democratic victories,
but it also shifts California's political midpoint to the left. This
means that to remain competitive in elections, the Republicans must abandon or soften many
conservative positions so as to cater to the center.
California became a
Democratic stronghold not because Californians became socialists, but because
millions of socialists moved there. Immigration turned California
blue, and immigration is ultimately to blame for California's high poverty
level.
