Panda Labs reveals a new offer from Russia and Ukraine.
Technical Director Luis Corrons in the Spanish IT security company Panda has put out a blog where he reveals a service that offers to hack any Facebook account at a charge of $ 100: Your Facebook account is worth $ 100
As the picture above shows, the service takes a disclaimer: Some passwords can be so well protected that they can not be broken.
Corrons reveals that it involves a double deception.
He says it is likely that the service actually manage to crack the password-protected Facebook, and associate the correct password to a given Facebook ID account. On the other side: The user will not be given the password, even after having paid. Hackers behind the service expects that one does not go to police to complain that they have been fooled by an illegal service.
According to Carron, it is trivial to find a Facebook ID. That this is handled in a separate link from hacker service, is designed to give credibility, "he said.
Corrons go through the different steps in the service's user interface, and is told that he can not see the password, which is now stored in the service's database, because the balance of his account is zero ($ 0).
The point is that it's still zero after you have paid.
The payment is through Western Union. Corrons believe it is typical for cyber criminals that they take up paid through Western Union.
