Facebook alleges that in June servers controlled by the defendants used automated scripts to make more than 200,000 requests for personal information stored on Facebook's site. The allegations are contained in an amended lawsuit filed earlier this month in U.S. District Court in San Jose, Calif." --clip-- .... "Facebook said the hacking attempts cost it at least $5,000 to investigate.
