Hi anonymous, I work at facebook. If you manage to hack us and grab our data, perhaps you'd like to apply for a job? It's not trivial getting the data even with full access, so you could really help our team! Plus the free lunches are pretty good.

Apparently it's a fake: https://twitter.com/#!/anonops/status/101152229087657984 https://twitter.com/#!/anonops/status/101152229087657984

  I thought Anonymous is an unstructured "organization" and that anybody can do anything under their flag without authorization from a central body. How is it that there is apparently a central Twitter account?

    Maybe it's a bit of a meritocracy? It seems some Twitter accounts are somewhat "official" in the sense that they are followed by most of the people involved in the Anonymous movement.

I don't think they're (if they're, because it looks like a fake) aiming for the data. If I were them and wanted the data I'd hack a big Facebook application' account and since most of them are very intrusive with their permissions I'd get a lot of data that way. I bet from the backend it'd be very hard to do it, and the data might be encrypted using a key that only a Facebook user has (the user might have multiple keys and share them with friends... etc etc), anyways, I'm thinking too much about this, it's too late already :).

If you work at Facebook, mind posting your FB profile?
- yid 15y ago
  Haha, yes I do mind. :)
  - anymoonus 15y ago
    Why? How do we know you're not someone who works for a competitor and is out to discredit Facebook?
    - yid 15y ago
      You don't. I choose to stay anonymous for many reasons, but if it's any help, nothing I said could be construed as trying to discredit Facebook (even though I'm anonymous).
