Speaking of Social Media

Facebook seems to be attempting to regain credibility amongst its users.
Users whose accounts are targeted or compromised by state-sponsored hackers will now receive a notification upon login, warning them that “we believe your Facebook account and your other online accounts may be the target of attacks from state-sponsored actors”.

[...]

The company’s chief security officer, Alex Stamos, explains that the warning is necessary because government-sponsored attacks “tend to be more advanced and dangerous than others”, necessitating active defence on the part of the target.  [...]  “Ideally, people who see this message should take care to rebuild or replace [their computers or mobile devices] if possible.”
