Social media Facebook has taken action against two hacker groups in Bangladesh. The two hacker groups are the Crime Research and Analysis Foundation (CRAF) and the Defense of Nations (DONS). The two groups wanted to take control of the IDs and pages of various social workers, journalists and people belonging to the minority community at home and abroad.
Nathaniel Glencher, Facebook's head of cyber security policy, and Mike Villiansky, the cyber risk intelligence manager, made the announcement in a joint statement on Thursday (December 10th).
The statement said that Facebook's cyber security risk experts work for incidents such as malicious propaganda, influencing others with malicious intent, and trying to illegally occupy others' accounts. As part of this work, we recently found some such groups from Bangladesh and Vietnam. A Vietnamese group called EPT32 tried to run a vicious Facebook campaign.
On the other hand, two groups in Bangladesh were trying to illegally occupy other people's IDs and pages. For this, they were 'reporting' the personal IDs and page purposes of various individuals and organizations. However, no agreement has yet been found between the two groups in Bangladesh and the group in Vietnam.
Facebook also said that the two groups have been successful in such work. Social media says they have hacked and used the IDs and pages of some such people. The hackers used the email and device (mobile or computer) of the legitimate user of the account to take possession of the account.
These groups in Bangladesh and Vietnam have already been deleted, according to Facebook. The IDs of people associated with these groups have also been blocked as part of preventive measures. At the same time, Facebook has informed those whose accounts and pages have been hacked. And they have advised users to be more careful about their own safety.
Incidentally, among the netizens of Bangladesh, Crawf and Dons have been working as a Facebook community for a long time. In particular, the two groups have been demanding that social media users work on a voluntary basis on various cyber issues. So far no statement has been received from them about such a move by Facebook.
