FACEBOOK BANS PTCL IP: ANOTHER CASE OF PTCL MISMANAGEMENT


You might be aware of the recent problems being faced by PTCL and PTCL based ISP's whereby while trying to log on to Facebook (and Twitter) they get redirected to random pages and get logged on as somebody else, while some PTCL customers have reported issues with Google and Flickr, as well. People who tried to log in with their username / password were randomly re-directed to other users’ accounts, where they had full access to do whatever changes they wanted, including but not restricted to changing their passwords and personal information.

Several cases have come to light where customers sign in and once signed in; they see the home page of another user in front of them. After several complaints regarding this, Facebook is showing a "Bad IP" error, meaning that the PTCL IP address has been flagged with inappropriate behavior. PTCL authorities have had no comments as yet, and the problem, far from being resolved, is increasing steadily as more and more users are realizing that the fault does not lie with Facebook or Twitter, but with PTCL.

Please also note that this problem seems to specifically be affecting PTCL as not a single Transworld customer has faced this problem and no security compromising instances have been reported by any of our customers or users.
