This could be soooo easy. Just provide a way to create a temporary account for tests that is not "a real user" and offer it on request. Creating and deleting these should not be a problem - if a report is false, the account won't change anyway.
- andyhmltn 13y agoJudging by their response and reference to 'test accounts' this is what they currently do.
- gregd 13y agoFacebook already has the ability to create test accounts: https://www.facebook.com/whitehat/accounts/ https://www.facebook.com/whitehat/accounts/
- arnehormann 13y agoIf these accounts were internally tagged as security test accounts and were created automatically and a security researcher had no control over them (think honeypots), Facebook could monitor changes and see if anything on these accounts changes that should not. As the security researcher does not control the account unless an attack is successful, Facebook can grade attacks without human intervention. I can't see anything suggesting they have such a system in place.
