Facebook Session Hijack Video

Friday, July 2nd, 2010

We discovered a major security hole in Facebook almost by accident. The exploit is so trivial I can’t justify calling it hacking. Any time you are on an open WiFi and accessing Facebook, anyone else on the same network can easily grab your credential and access Facebook as you with full access to your account.

We have posted a video demonstrating this to YouTube as well as putting it in the Anonymizer Labs section of our website.

New Anonymizer Knowledge Center

Friday, July 2nd, 2010

We are working hard to improve our website and would welcome your suggestions and feedback on how to improve it.

One new addition is our Knowledge Center where we are trying to share information about privacy and security issues. Within the Knowledge Center we have a section we call “The Lab” (click the tab in the Knowledge Center).

Anonymizer’s R&D team is always discovering new and interesting things so we decided we should set up some place where we can share them. To kick off the new section we have posted two videos. The first is a frightening video about Facebook security, and the second is a video of me which introduces the issue of on-line privacy. We plan to post more articles, white papers, and videos going forward.
