Technical Perspective Fake Likes and Targeting Collusion Networks

Abstract

THE FOLLOWING SCENARIO might sound like fiction. You and a million of your closest Face book friends are going to band together to artificially improve your social networking reputation. You will willingly give a reputation manipulation service such as "official-liker. net" authorized access to your Facebook account. The manipulation service will cleverly exploit an authentication vulnerability in third-party Facebook apps to automate actions with your account.
