Facebook User is Screwed Without Notification After Stranger Accessing Users’s Account

It was a blew out of the water experience for Paavo Siljamäki, as after being logged by the Facebook engineer without facilitating the password, Facebook has failed to caution the user (Paavo Siljamäki) with any alert briefing his private Facebook profile being accessed by some strange person since the company does when any person try’s to log in to a persons Facebook account with out a proper password and username from a strange suspicious device of a different Geo-location.

Stormed by this incident Paavo Siljamäki approached the Facebook in order to figure out who all does have the similar kind of master access to anyone’s Facebook account, who can access anyone’s Facebook account, when cam they do so and how to be aware of this kind of acts if any Facebook has logged in to anyone’s Facebook account.

Facebook failed to answer the directly to the questions which have been demanded like “who can access Facebook accounts of its users whose private data is registered with in it – which would arise in any Facebook users mind after coming across this king of circumstances. However Facebook assured that such incidents would take place such as a Facebook engineer accessing the private Facebook profile and would be able to do so only for a specific job function under tiered and limited conditions. Facebook stated that access  to its users accounts would be accorded to its engineers and employees to  reply to a customer request for information or error report.

Facebook explicated that “Designated employees may only access the amount of information that’s necessary to carry out their job responsibilities, such as responding to bug reports or account support inquiries, We have a zero tolerance approach to abuse, and improper behavior results in termination.”

Concisely, Facebook declared that it has a secured customer service tool which concedes admittance to the users Facebook profile to the Facebook engineer. It as later found that tech giant Facebook produces weekly reports on suspicious behavior by its two separately running monitoring systems to review and analyse the users data by two independent security teams.
