Subtitle: Facebook, your security still sucks.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So last night I get this email:<\/p>\n

\"Untitled-1\"<\/p>\n

Who the hell is Billy Bowman? And why is he using my email address? And in rapid succession I receive:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Untitled-2\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Untitled-3\"<\/p>\n

So I say WTF? And *I* am able to login to this account \u201cwith my Hotmail credentials\u201d and change the password on this account. I see that Billy is in a chat telling some girl he is 14 years old. (I concurrently change my hotmail password just in case, but this kid is NOT accessing my email).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Untitled-4\"<\/p>\n

Then I deactivate the account because I can\u2019t switch the email address.<\/p>\n

\"Untitled-5\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So even though I\u2019ve changed the password on the account in question, Billy is able to reactivate it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Untitled-6\"<\/p>\n

So now, I login to the Billy account and change the primary email address to the other address the kid has listed. I remove my email address from the Billy account.<\/p>\n

\"Untitled-7\"<\/p>\n

So FB sends me a message\u2026<\/p>\n

\"Untitled-8\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And Billy tries to add it back<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Untitled-9\"<\/p>\n

So I log in to the Billy account to insure the address is gone and log into my own account and quickly add that email address to my own Facebook account. And Facebook warns Billy that someone may have accessed his account and sends ME the email notification.<\/p>\n

\"Untitled-10\"<\/p>\n

So Billy tries to change the password on his account. I\u2019m ignoring these requests.<\/p>\n
