The vulnerability was identified by Lawrence amer in a sub-function of the Facebook core services. Subsequently, vulnerability reporting by benjamin kunz mejri and lawrence amerikan was prepared for submission to the Facebook Whitehat program in 2017 Q3. Several times reported in 2017 Q3 & 2017 Q4 by the core Vulnerbaility Lab team. After several discussions, Facebook technicians were unable to understand the impact of the vulnerability, reliably assess the risks, and reproduce the vulnerabilities themselves. The reason was that there was a communication with Facebook that mainly excluded the agreement of facts from all parties involved. That's why they refused to pay our researchers a bug bounty. Then some international criminals probably found the same security problem and put over 50 million access token credentials at risk.
