Albania Pirate Group on Facebook: Threats and Stakes


For the second time, (November 29, 2012) the group which is identified like: ‘’ Albania Pirate Group’’ on Facebook has tempted to challenge facebook security team by publishing sensible information.
For those who unfamiliar, this group leads its illegal activities on Facebook by sharing information publicly about how to break into computer systems.Following the recent shut down like has reported Sophos, the group appears to have attempted to regroup on Facebook creating a new page and again openly sharing passwords of breached systems.



In fact November 29, 2012 Sophos found that the Albania Pirate Group had been posting details of Twitter accounts they had hacked, and usernames and passwords for RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) servers  making it simple for hackers to get unauthorised remote access to computer systems. For the moment the page is not available, because shut down by Facebook. But we can learn that many people are using very poorly chosen passwords.
