Raleigh Laplant from Topeka, Kansas was one of about 1,000 confirmed victims who lost not only access to their Facebook accounts but to their photos, memories, and contacts. How did it happen? “He found it logs keystrokes in real-time and it clones cookies that are stored on your computer from Chrome,” he said. “They take all of the cookies and copy them and then mirror them on the device they’re using, which makes it look, to Facebook, that you’re using a device that you’ve used before.”
“They’re looking for financials,” said Laplant. “They’re also looking for a way to pretty much wipe out your banks. Anything you’ve stored on Facebook, like your credit cards or bank information. They’re able to access.” Most Lily Collins hack victims have been unable to access their accounts again and trying to get in touch with someone at Facebook to address the problem is, well, nearly impossible.
