Buffer- A platform
famous around the globe for its performance and trust. Every company and business
use buffer for their work. Buffer allows you to schedule your post and article
for best possible time across the different time zones. By which a company can
engage their products and brands. So that your fan and followers see your
updates more often.
We are in the world of intranet, everyone say this service
is fully protected and that one is more secure but when we pass through the
Hack world and the first rule of hacking is “Nothing is fully Secured and
Protected ”. Why we are talking about hacking because the day 26 October 2013 now
listed the Black day for Buffer app and its whole team.
Founder and CEO of Buffer Company Joel Gascoigne mention the all automatic posts were halted, posts
by his Twitter account on Saturday 26 Oct.
Twitter Tweet of Joel Gascoigne:-
Look like @buffer
has been hacked and there is a nasty scam being posted. We are posting all
posting and investigating right now. Sorry
Facebook API keys revoked by Buffer so that new users
can’t access Facebook authentication to add the applications.
According to last news came from buffer, mention that we
are working with Facebook the integrity team to track down the source of the
hacking attack.
When
Buffer team knows about hacking?
This issue appeared few hours ago when buffer users
complain that “Scheduled twitter tweets are disappearing automatically from their
dashboard” while many users complains that “they are unable to login into the service”.
My
suggestion for you
1. Remove all social media links from buffer till this issue
not solved completely or remove this application from your social media.
2. Keep in touch with the Buffer team on twitter for latest
update and check your emails regularly.
3. Don’t try and add links till full and secure information.
4. No need to change your social media passwords: - Buffer
mention
Support the service if you can instead of make fun,
they give you awesome service. Now it’s your time to help and encourage them.
They are responding every tweet because they care for you and love their
audience.
Why
Buffer Got hacked?
Till
now, no good news came from the Buffer side about this but they are working with
Facebook and Amazon team to resolve this issue and making it more secure.
