So how long before something like a no confidence action or something can be taken to stop this? He's speedrunning turning the US into a madhouse and I know the VP would be next in line but... Something? Anything more legitimate than just fighting fire with fire by various groups being uncooperative?
Tldr: Someone can guess reasonably where you are by sending you a glitched friend request notification on your phone that tells the hacker what data center you're closest to.
It is pretty clever but I wouldn't call it full deanonymizing, should still get patched though.
good find by the tester.
Edit: used the term 'glitch' for simplicity of people reading, didn't mean to upset people; I'm just an amateur.
I suspect it's related to insurance in the case of loss by the bank. I think most have upper limits to how much they'll reimburse if they're robbed or something so they'll store it in multiple accounts.
I don't think anyone would just have an exorbitant amount of money in one spot.
Just don't use Facebook. Get your friends contact information and text/call/meme directly with them or in groups. You'll find it a much more encouraging and rewarding experience if you connect with people instead of let some big company tell you how to engage with your friends and family.
Edit: I did not expect this thread to be so controversial. I suspect a lot of people really are not ready to give up Facebook.
Astute observation. I'm glad I stopped using the platform years ago but it seems like they're focused on trying to innovate their tech more than the actual engagement.
