I reached out to Facebook to ask about when One Click was launched, and why. While One Click is in fact real and not a phishing scam, it is riddled with unsafe security practices-perhaps all in the name of driving Facebook user numbers. Experts say the hack will likely lead to a rise in phishing attacks. It’s a valid question, particularly in light of Facebook’s most recent security breach, wherein hackers used a bug in the platform’s code to gain access to millions of users accounts. While Facebook’s One Click feature isn’t new, it’s rarely talked about- save for confused users trying to look up whether it’s a scam. What most platforms don’t do is send cold emails to unsuspecting users asking them to log back in.
And everyday, these sites respond to people’s “forgot password?” queries, using features like two-factor authentication to help log these poor souls back in. Everyday, on many different sites, people forget their passwords.
