There are often various messages circulating on Facebook that are declared as “warnings” to other users. Whether this is about contradicting new terms and conditions or simply intended to provoke wild sharing, these have often turned out to be false reports. So what's this warning about a hack?
The new hack on Facebook
Now there is talk of a “new hack on Facebook” that could do something embarrassing and disturbing, if the description is to be believed. This is what it's about:

“ It seems someone has found another way to hurt and insult people for no reason.
Attention, people. There's a new hack on Facebook that includes a vulnerable sentence from you in the comments on your contacts. It's very dirty and it seems like you wrote it.. You don't see it, but your friends see it. This situation can lead to many misunderstandings. I would like to tell all my contacts that if something seems inappropriate, it's not me... If something like that happens on my behalf, let me know!!! Thanks! Thanks! Please copy and paste.”
Old hack in a new guise?
Apparently the warning circulating here is working. After all, it has been in this form – or slightly modified – since at least 2016. At that time we also reported on a “new hack on Facebook”. You can find our article from back then HERE .
The report has now been toned down somewhat, but it describes the same events.
And here too you shouldn't share the text, but rather copy and paste it. Why this? Very simple: This gives every posting a current touch. You don't realize at first glance that this "information" has been circulating on Facebook for a long time. This also prevents the text from being lost if the original author deletes his warning.
And what's the deal with this hack?
The information in the text itself is very vague. There have been cases where questionable videos were posted on behalf of Facebook users. This was due to dubious browser extensions, which in most cases only affected users who used “Google Chrome”. However, this had nothing to do with a hack. We have also published an article about this, which you HERE .
However, such browser extensions or another malicious Facebook application could be to blame if you unknowingly leave comments. But you should also consider that you have fallen victim to a phishing attack and criminals could have gotten hold of your Facebook login data.
What can you do about it?
If you, as a Facebook user, post status posts, videos or comments unintentionally, then...
1) Please check the extensions/addons of your web browser and remove those that don't tell you anything and/or seem dubious.
2) Log in to your Facebook account and then log in again, or change your contact address and then your password on Facebook.
3) Please check your Facebook applications/apps and remove those that don't tell you anything and/or seem dubious.
