Victim of state spying? Facebook will tell you

The social network will now explicitly warn users it fears are being targeted by state-sponsored hackers

Facebook will explicitly notify users it believes have been targeted by an attacker suspected of working on behalf of a nation state, the company has announced.

Users whose accounts are targeted or compromised by state-sponsored hackers will now receive a notification upon login, warning them that "we believe your Facebook account and your other online accounts may be the target of attacks from state-sponsored actors".
