These
days many Facebook users have hundreds and possibly thousands of
friends. More friends increase the chance that your Facebook account
will be hacked – especially if you accept friend requests from strangers.
Critical vulnerability found on FACEBOOK
You can easily gain access to a your friends Facebook account through a collusion approach. You have to use Facebook’s password recovery feature, which is accessible through the “Forgot your password?” link on the Facebook login page.
Once identified the Friend, Facebook suggested to recover the password via the existing email address. However, you can bypass this hurdle by clicking the “No longer have access to these?” link. In that case, Facebook asks for a new email address. In the following step, Facebook presents the security question tied to the account. However, you can also to bypass the question by typing wrong answers three times in a row. After that, Facebook provides a rather surprising way to get your account back – via the support of three friends.
4. To bypass problem mentioned in step 3 Create your own 2 more fake profiles and add the victim as a friend on facebook. Now get all the 3 codes and you are done.
NOTE: The targeted account will be locked for 24 hours after this password change and the user’s old email address receives a notification of the password change as well as the names of the three friends who were given the codes. However, if these are friends with fake names, it doesn’t quite matter that you now know their names.
Critical vulnerability found on FACEBOOK
It is not entirely unusual that
Facebook users receive friend requests from people they do not know.
Often, those friend requests are blindly accepted in an effort to
grow the friendship base. It seems that especially people with
Facebook accounts that are primarily used for marketing purposes are
more likely to accept friend requests from people they do not know
than the typical Facebook user does.
Such accounts could be hacked
easily, and there is no ingenious hacking talent required to do so:
You simply need to walk through Facebook’s passwork recovery process
with two other Facebook friends of a targeted account.

1.
First, you select three friends “you trust”. These three friends
then receive a code, which is required to change the account
password.
2. Select yourself and immediately received a code from
Facebook. With those three codes, you can easily change the password
for the targeted account.
3. The problem clearly is that three friends you do not
really know and cannot trust could potentially gain access to the
victim Facebook account – through the standard password recovery
feature.
4. To bypass problem mentioned in step 3 Create your own 2 more fake profiles and add the victim as a friend on facebook. Now get all the 3 codes and you are done.

Now if a Facebook user could in fact be in a situation when
a Facebook account is not checked within a 24-hour period,
particularly since we enjoy to flaunt our activities through Facebook
status messages. And if the account is checked frequently, the
account depends on Facebook’s response time, which can easily stretch
to a number of days.
