1. Background of the Case Study:
The case study has been attached to the security issues that have allowed all the
hackers to gather more information for all across eighty-seven million users on Facebook.
British analytics have somehow managed to get access to all the information of million users
and have led to several deaths. The government of the United States has been associating
with the issues where they want to set effective laws to protect all the personal information of
the users like name, sex, home location and so on. Congress stated that a significant
investigation about the severe privacy and security issues so that they can gather more data
about such a difficult situation. Specific news was discovered such as three software flaws
that were initiated by the Facebook system that unfortunately gave access to break into the
accounts of the users. In this way, it can be accessible to other social networking sites as well
such as Instagram, Spotify and so on. The software update was two primary reasons, such as
improving the privacy setup for the users, and the second one was to develop a tool for
generating birthday videos.
Since the situation is quite critical to handle so, Facebook tried to fix issues by
enforcing notified law agents and identifying the origin of these attackers. The investigation
was still following up to dissolve the problems as soon as possible and Facebook had
requested its ninety million users to remove their accounts so that they can fix the bugs
adequately. Certain harmful rumors have been creating a cause to lead several deaths all
across the worldwide. Especially, with its ‘view as’ feature has exploited their personal
information and will try to control over its privacy and security settings. Therefore, they need
to adapt five essential strategies that may recover the situation, including listening to the
users, third-party partners, simplifying activities for users, quick response teams for security
purposes, and educating users.
