Creepy van? Free candy? Lost Puppy? You're being stalked!

Remember in first grade when you learned about "stranger danger?"

You know, if someone you dont know walks up to you..

or knocks on your door...

you run away, screaming like a freak.

(This always made for an interesting scene when the Jevohah Witnesses came to my door)

 

 

"Excuse me, miss... do you have time to learn about God?"

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

 

Thanks Elementary school, now everyone thinks I'm the Spawn of Satan.

 

 

Anywyay.... truth is, you;re being stalked.

BAM!

Changed your life, right there.

The reason you don't know?

You're looking for all the wrong signs.

 

You're looking for the Econo-line van

 

 

You're looking for the promised "free candy"

 

 

But what you should be looking for is something VERY different...

 

It's that app that you look during a boring lecture.

It's that website that distracted me so much that I'm already an hour into this post.

 

FACEBOOK!!

 

Yep, they are stalking you. No big deal.

In class, Rob Larson told us that Facebook kept an archive of everything you've ever done.

And that's creepy.

What I found to be creepier, however, is that there is a master password to facebook.

 

 

 

According to Huffington Post, Katerine Losse, employee of Facebook since 2005,

came out with some big news.

She said that not only is there a master password for all usernames, but that employees were given this password immediately upon hire - without even a background check!

Even worse? This password grants the employee access to EVERY single part of your profile.

 

Losse says in her new book, "The Boy Kings" that:

"A Stanford grad introduced me and another newbie to the janky application through which users' emails to Facebook flowed. Once we learned how the software worked, he taught us, without batting an eye, the master password with which we could log in as any Facebook user and gain access to all messages and data. "You can't write it down," he said, and so we committed it to memory.

I briefly experienced stunned disbelief: They just hand over the password with no background check to make sure that I am not a crazed stalker?

Security measures would be implemented later that made it impossible for anyone to use the master password without authenticating themselves as an employee. And a year after that, the password would disappear entirely in favor of other, more secure forms of logging in to repair accounts. But at the beginning, there was only one password. For us, as administrators, everything on Facebook really was there for the seeing."

I know you always thought you would be stalked by a creepy old man, with blacked out van windows....

You were looking for the wrong guy.

Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, and the most elligible bachelor in the United States is watching your every move.

 

Hey, don't be upset, at least I warned you!
