0 FBI's Cyber Crime Agent hacked & Apple Device IDS leaked, FBI denies the claims

A hacker group said to be AntiSec claimed that they hacked a computer of Federal Bureau of Investigation's Agent inside the office of the department that was located in New York.
Furthermore, it was claimed by a member of AntiSec that they have retrieved some personal data from the computer of agent. According to the hackers group the file was taken into account during the month of march via Java software.

AntiSec group claimed they got unique device identifiers that are known as UDIDS. By exposing a Java vulnerability and clicking a folder that was on special agent's desktop in his laptop, who's an employee of FBI's regional cyber action and evidence response team.

AntiSec said it got the unique device identifiers, or UDIDs, by exploiting a Java vulnerability and accessing a desktop folder on the laptop of a special agent who worked with the FBI's regional cyber action and evidence response teams in New York. The hacked ids are series of numbers and letters assigned to apple devices such as Iphones, Ipads, Ipods etc. These ids are used by software developers to track the activity of an app used.

The most interesting part was that FBI denied being hacked as they tweeted as, "We never had info in question. Bottom Line: TOTALLY FALSE."
"The FBI is aware of published reports alleging that an FBI laptop was compromised and private data regarding Apple UDIDs was exposed," the agency said in a statement Tuesday afternoon.
"At this time, there is no evidence indicating that an FBI laptop was compromised or that the FBI either sought or obtained this data."

But the truth is that 1 million iOS device IDS are leaked and sold, after this hacking task successfully performed by AntiSec. AntiSec hacker group claims to have accessed 12 million unique device identifiers on FBI computer

What is Social Engineering ?

Social Engineering is one of the newest and innovative part of Hacking.In Social Engineering a Hacker uses his ability to communicate and play with the mind of the victim.

How to Use Social Engineering to Hack Facebook (or any other account too) ?

Social engineering refers to playing with the mind of others to get important information which you can use for your benefit,so you can use it to Hack Facebook by keeping in mind following points :

*Click on 'forgot password' below password field in facebook.You will enter an area where you will have to help facebook to identify the account of the victim,which you can easily do by typing his name and a friends too or by pasting his profile's URL in the 'profile link' column.

*Now in recovery options click on 'answer the security question'.You are given 3 tries,make some relevant guesses,you may get the answer right if you know the victim well.If you don't then you will have to use Social Engineering to get the answer from victim.

Some Tips to Make the Victim Spell Out his Answer-

*Most of the people on Facebook had set their Security Question long time back,may be when they had made an account.So most of the people don't change their question and many of them don't remember the question only.These things will make your work easy.

*Don't straight away ask the answer to securitu question,first talk some random stuff.

*Get to the question slowly and steadily so that victim doesn't suspect you.
Trust me,Social Engineering is one of the Best Methods to Hack any account.All you need is presence of mind and ability to communicate well with people.Even i have tried social engineering many times and succeeded most of the times! :-)

Note:

1.After you manage to get the answer to security question,you should see that victim doesn't logs in for next 24hours after you have set the password.

2.This method can be used to hack linked accounts to facebook of victim which can be used to Hack Facebook in the end .
