Surely many are afraid that their precious social network account is hacked Facebook, especially if it is a very protected profile and can only visit family and friends. However, recently, the company has admitted that his famous website was hacked in January, and it happened when some of the team members were infected with malware in their laptops without knowing it.

Although it has been suggested that the attack was sophisticated, we can now rest assured that as the social network of any user no data has been compromised. The company's official statement reads:

"Last month, Facebook Security discovered that our systems were the target of a sophisticated attack. The attack occurred when several employees visited a website that was compromised development. The site in question contained an exploit that could install malware on visiting teams. The laptops were fully updated and ran antivirus current analysis. As soon was discovered the presence of malware, clean the affected machines immediately inform law and began an arduous investigation that continues to this day. "

So far not much is known about it. Hopefully the people of Facebook again soon and make another statement that their employees be more careful.
