Never trust software that claims it can simply hack accounts

A piece of software that's advertised as being able to hack into any Facebook account is being highly promoted on shady forums and in Pastebin posts.

In fact, the tool can't actually break any accounts, except maybe for the bank accounts on those who try to use it.

“Finally, the real Facebook hacker is here. The first time published. Hack any facebook password. No more private ! Hurry up to enjoy that cracker,” reads such an advertisement.

Consider this. If Anonymous couldn't hack into Facebook, what could make anyone think that a simple tool could do it?

The program is detected by ESET as MSIL/Injector.G, a trojan that specializes in stealing sensitive information, sending it to remote machines.

That means that every time the Facebook Account Hacking tool is used by someone, they risk their bank and other account data being sent to some cybercriminal.

I advise internet users not to try playing hacker since all they'll hack is their own accounts.
