How to avoid Facebook scams?
Frederic Wolens, a Facebook security manager, explained that "user access token" hijacking enables the scammer to impersonate the victim. "They can act as if they were the user until that access token has been invalidated by Facebook," he wrote. "Most of the time we try and invalidate these tokens as soon as we detect a scam."
The hijacking could have happened in the tiny window the ad opened at first. Beth Jones, a researcher with the security firm Sophos, explained that con artists can use JavaScript tricks to hide links in part of or all of a page -- for example, turning it into a giant "Like" button.
