The FINANCIAL — Can Private Facebook Profiles really be viewed and hacked? Many are asking about this. How one can view profiles of those persons who are not their friends and whose profiles are kept private?
A search done on Google comes up with a number of sites that claim to give out tricks and tips on how to ‘hack’ somebody’s account. However, on closer inspection it has been found that there are almost no proper hacks available for hacking the Facebook profiles, Thaindian reports. Though this does not mean that the process has not been tried.
Earlier, entering of a particular URL with the right codes would take you to the required persons profile. However, as soon as the trick was out in the open, Facebook developed a cure. This has been going on for quite some time now, according to the same source. FaceBook is known to advert any kind of hack into its system within a fortnight of the hack coming into notice.
Facebook is the world’s largest social network, with over 300 million users. Facebook was founded by Mark Zuckerberg in February 2004, initially as an exclusive network for Harvard students. It was a huge hit: in 2 weeks, half of the schools in the Boston area began demanding a Facebook network, crunchbase.com informs. Zuckerberg immediately recruited his friends Dustin Moskowitz and Chris Hughes to help build Facebook, and within four months, Facebook added 30 more college networks.
The original idea for the term Facebook came from Zuckerberg’s high school (Phillips Exeter Academy), according to the same source. The Exeter Face Book was passed around to every student as a way for students to get to know their classmates for the following year. It was a physical paper book until Zuckerberg brought it to the internet.
