Facebook faced with new sex scandal

The security of Facebook has been put under scrutiny once again this week.

A case of an eighteen-year-old boy posing as a girl on the site in order to blackmail victims into perform sexual acts, has prompted security firm Sophos to offer advice on online safety.

Anthony Stancl allegedly created a fake female profile to entice 31 of his classmates to send him naked photos, which lead to him threatening the pupils and forcing them to perform sexual acts. If Stancl is found guilty, then he could face up to 293 years in prison.
