    You could still bruteforce facebook logins when i first started using it, now its harder, but you can just wait for one of the yearly huge dataleaks to happen…

      Until 2011 you could just watch wifi traffic for all the unencrypted creds/sessions.

        There used to be a Firefox extension that would show the other Facebook users browsing on your network and let you log in as them.

      And yet my Facebook profile persists.

      I’m going to have to delete it myself, aren’t I? Why can’t some “hacker” just steal it and I never have to think about it again?
