Facebook sues SlickCash
p2pnet news | P2P:- Facebook is suing a Canadian company said to specialise in online porn amid allegations it hacked Facebook computers, “and tried to access the personal information of users, court documents show,” Says the Canadian Press.
“A numbered Ontario company, which does business online under the name SlickCash, along with several people in the Toronto area, are named in an amended complaint filed by Facebook in San Jose,” says the story
For two weeks last June, “the defendants attempted to access Facebook’s servers at least 200,000 times,” it states, going on:
“Each of these requests sought to direct Facebook’s computers to send information on other Facebook users back to (the company’s Internet Protocol) address,’ the court documents say. “These requests for information from Facebook generated error messages and were detected as unauthorized attempts to access and harvest proprietary information.”
Named are Istra Holdings Inc, a numbered company affiliated with SlickCash, and defendants Brian Fabian and Josh Raskin as either “residing or working” at the same Toronto address, Ming Wu and six other unidentified defendants, says CP, adding:
“The complaint contains allegations that have not been proven in court. Calls to Istra Holdings were not immediately returned, and it was not immediately clear whether any of the defendants had filed a statement of defence.”
