static.ak.fbcdn.net phishing – Browsers like Google Chrome, Firefox and Safari are reporting a Facebook phishing warning for static.ak.fbcdn.net when users try to login at Facebook.com.
The static.ak.fbcdn.net phishing warning is triggered by a broken advertisement link related to the new Facebook Connect service and Facebook is working to correct the problem.
The static.ak.fbcdn.net website is owned by Facebook and is used to serve up parsed data and application-related Ref handles when a user arrives at Facebook.com, so there is no real phishing threat.
Facebook Developer Forums were abuzz this morning with talk about the false phishing warnings with administrators acknowledging that fbcdn.net was listed as a phishing site.
While this one was definitely a false alarm, with all the phishing scams targeting Facebook users, you can’t be too careful when logging in on a site your browser says is suspicious.
And that’s the latest news on static.ak.fbcdn.net phishing.

My Pc. is comming up with PI numbers on facebook. 96.17.171.115,80 and 192.168.1.2,1810
July 27th, 2009 at 10:50 am
I see that the date of this article is from Dec 2008 but Its happening to me today, what’s wrong?
August 19th, 2009 at 7:26 pm
Facebook is a phishing site – albeit one that conforms to US law. Nevertheless, what they do is highly unethical.
October 20th, 2009 at 2:30 am
And happening to me today, too. (Using Chrome as my browser.) How long will it take to correct it, I only wonder….
October 20th, 2009 at 6:03 am
today is October 20 and i constantly get static.ak.fbcdn.net phising warning.. what can i do to correct it?
October 20th, 2009 at 6:46 pm
same thing here
October 20th, 2009 at 9:50 pm
i cant see any of my friends or even my profile pictures…how can i remove that blocking
November 3rd, 2009 at 12:25 am
I can barely even get ON to the so-called Facebook. All I get is text along the left-hand side of the page, and it takes FOREVER to load the site.
I think I may actually have something worse going on…
November 12th, 2009 at 10:20 am
If you have a firewall such as ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite, you can deny all attempts to send your name, email address, and any other private info you want to fbcdn.net. Facebook still works fine and you can feel safe knowing that your personal info is not being sent to third party advertising sites. I won’t get online without ZoneAlarm… Nearly every web site you visit uses this invasive and intrusive technique. Face it, advertising is driving the internet now and it will continue to grow exponentially. Protect yourself or prepare to have your email inbox filled with more spam than you can imagine, not to mention the hazard of phishing.

96.17.171.115 is a site from akamai, part of yahoo now I believe, that’s okay. 80 is the port. Supposedly there’s a worm/trojan horse that’s coming from Russia. If you notice http://static.ak.fbcdn.net coming up, that’s the problem. The other number is your IP (local) not your computer IP.
December 8th, 2009 at 10:26 am
http://static.ak.fbcdn.net i have the same problem! what to do to fix it?
December 25th, 2009 at 2:54 pm
Getting this Flash Player Warning from a variety of different web-sites over the last two days. Signed up with Facebook last week… coincidence? Has Facebook put something into my system that is linking out when I’m not using FB itself?
December 26th, 2009 at 1:36 pm
My system run on UBUNTU. I found a file written to my desktop named PHOTO.PHP
This thing refer to bootloaders and more that I do not trust.
Anyone wanting a copy of it can contact me at the following email and I will forward it to you. andy “at” aps “dot” ie
December 31st, 2009 at 5:12 pm
Mine happened Christmas eve>morning….It took my whole yahoo contact list and sent some phoney Christmas card to all my contacts. when I finally found out the card was NOT the ones I sent, we at least figured that part out. I’ve got 3 security/firewalls on and when I run them NOTHING shows up. But I just got done totally reformatting my computer for 2 days and got on Facebook and there was site.ak.facdn.net at the bottom….I am so sick of this!
YES! Sick enough to stop facebook, but I DID have it happen on Yahoo too.
February 3rd, 2010 at 8:38 am
windowslive is such a lovely windowslive . hhhhhhhhhhh its not its such a bitch windowslive it never give me the information right . and my facebook never work because of windowslive . this is so herbal they dont even have the permission to close my facebook.
February 3rd, 2010 at 9:47 am
So finally here is the solution…
go to some online ping sites like http://ping.eu/ping/
and ping the problem like “static.ak.fbcdn.net” so that you will get the ip address in result like…
64 bytes from akamai-deploy-5.latnetserviss.lv (159.148.86.199): icmp_seq=1 ttl=49 time=43.5 ms
64 bytes from akamai-deploy-5.latnetserviss.lv (159.148.86.199): icmp_seq=2 ttl=49 time=43.6 ms
64 bytes from akamai-deploy-5.latnetserviss.lv (159.148.86.199): icmp_seq=3 ttl=49 time=43.5 ms
Since u got the IP Address “159.148.86.199″ Now open
my computer > windows > system32 > Drivers > etc
here u will find a file named “hosts”
open it in notepad.
You may find
“127.0.0.1 localhost” somewhere at the end
make it a new entry ur ip address alongwith site like this
127.0.0.1 localhost
159.148.86.199 static.ak.fbcdn.net
save it..
Now refresh your site, in my case it was http://www.facebook.com
Its open now…

July 7th, 2010 at 10:03 pm
I cannot be sure I have this Facebook virus, but just to be sure I’m going to explain as briefly as I can the problem I am facing with Facebook.
On occasion I can load up the main page with no problems (the bit before log-in) & log in ok. It’s just when I get to going to say view my app game gift requests/invites section and it loads up the page and then stays blank with the usual blue arrow in circular motion going clockwise at the top of my the tab for the page is. I am also unable to now play any games as this same process happens.
Kaspersky Internet Security is my anti-virus protector & I have added facebook to my White-list, and still nothing happens. This happened about 4 days ago now. I am at a loss as to what to do as this suggested virus remover may not apply for me.
I have cleared cache and updated Google Chrome (my main search engine). I tried accessing Facebook on Firefox and got the exact same problem. I will update my Flashplayer, just in case as I’ve just updated Google Chrome, but I doubt that’ll make any difference. Perhaps it is just a case of too many cooks spoiling the broth, ie millions of new and same old loggers using the site, therefore making it impossible to all be on at the same time. A bit annoying but, perhaps it’s a Facebook issue alltogether going by all the problems listed before mine.

I’ve encountered static.ak.fbcdn.net delaying by 60 seconds or so connection to a site which has nothing to do with Facebook (franceinfo.fr).
static.ak.fbcdn.net added to HOSTS file, now no problem.
The fact is Facebook is becoming an intruder even for those who have nothing to do with this craps.

Same problem here – I enter through ak.fbcdn.net and I neither receive friend requests which have been sent to me nor do I see the real names and/or photos of the people connected to me. Our uploads are simultaneously being uploaded to the local media (O2 network, Berlin/Germany radio stations and advertisement companies). My photos on Flickr have been used for their own purposes (search of ad customers) and our personal data (E-mail / photos: yahoo, Flickr, Google) / the entire story of our life has been made available to the entertainment industry. At the beginning, my accounts were the only “target”; now the pages used by my children (who use the same computer) go through the same phishing system. Any help / comments are appreciated: brigitte.boston@yahoo.com. Thank you.
January 19th, 2011 at 7:46 pm
I am so sick of this problem i have been lookin for an answer for almost 2years now and still nobody has a solid resolution.. Facebook is pissing me off…They are so rich so why not fix the problem once and for all.
I have tried numerous times on what people have said will work and will fix the problem and yes it works but then another problem occurs.
now i am fed up.. and i will say it FUCKED OFF!!
i have wasted several hours of my liife trying to resolve this and what a waste of damn time!!
January 24th, 2011 at 6:07 am
s-static.ak.fbcdn.net is being used by skype now… 5.1.0.104 is using IE engine to create a SSL conection to the server at or around login time and if IE is set to notifiy when viewing data over a secure conection we get a prompt notifying us we are about to view data over a secure connection, last week we had a revocation retrieval error at same point during startup which I declined to allow conncetion to procede and it did not seem to adversely affect the skype session. I think I am just going to block the domain name using my hosts file and be done with it.

February 5th, 2011 at 6:02 pm
I just started getting these download requests in the last couple of days from static.ak.fbcdn.net asking to download the file xd_proxy.php Is this adware of some sort? I seem to only be getting it when I try to load Pogo games, not other sites. What’s weird is I’m not (nor do I want to be) a Facebook member. I’ve run several system scans, including AVG Free and Malwarebytes’ Anti-Nalware, and nothing seems to be recognizing anything suspicious. Even if it is a false alarm, it’s persistant and becoming annoying. Any idea of how to remove it?
