Hardcore Chinese Hacker Sells Facebook ‘Likes’ on the Side
• Wired.comBut that’s only part of the story. Zhang, according to Bloomberg and other accounts, seems to also have been running a service through which unscrupulous businesses could pay to increase the number of “likes” on their Facebook pages, as well as their number of followers on Twitter and votes on other social networks. The site was promoted on the forum BlackHatWorld.
