Hi!
<div>I don’t think the issue is the rigor of FB tech or security teams, so I appreciate the questions but I can say that we are fortunate, given the profile of the company, to be able to hire many of the best engineers and security teams. We are always, however,
eager to learn and looking for others to test our vulnerabilities, so if you would like to assist us with your expertise, here’s information about our white hat program. Please do review-we’d be grateful for your technical insights, so get involved!</div>

<div dir="auto">But I have a couple of questions below, feel free to escalate as you had suggested. We are all learning/helping each other get better as a tech community;</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div>- How much rigorous source code security vulnerability tests, was the 'upload video' feature that supposedly triggered "user access tokens" stolen by "3rd" parties as indicated by Pedro in you security update, subjected to before it went live..?</div>
<div>- Beyond the routine in-house system analysis/audits/testing that probably missed this vulnerability, was this feature subjected to Bug bounty hunting ( External audit resources)...? Was it given a "clean bill of health"..?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
</div>
<div>Thanks<br>

<div dir="auto">Hi!
<div>Are you asking for a representation of the specific line or lines of code, of the multiple millions of lines of code that make up FB code base? If so, I don’t have that, and it’s not the kind of information any company has ever released after a breach.
But do correct me if I’m wrong? I’m also not sure how helpful that would be, but grateful for insight there.</div>

</div>
<div>That said-Facebook knows that our platform is one of the most attractive platforms in the known world for virtually every bad actor in the world. So we have multiple teams constantly assessing vulnerabilities, running scenarios, doing everything possible
to harden us as a target. And to the second question, the teams have to try to anticipate and foresee any and every possible risk. </div>
