(News.com.au) Hackers are hijacking people’s social media accounts, using them to post terrorist propaganda and stopping the account owners from getting them back in a new tactic affecting ordinary Australians and prominent public figures.
One lawyer says Facebook is not doing enough to combat the new technique, saying the social giant … fails to meet requirements of its own contract with users.
“It’s not doing what it says it will do, it’s not combating harmful conduct and protecting and supporting our community, it’s effectively shutting out someone that’s been hacked,” Sydney law firm Dowson Turco partner Nicholas Stewart told news.com.au.
“If Facebook wants to be consistent with what it puts out there as its Terms of Service, you would think that it would respond to a person’s request for help.”
