How to hack into someone's Facebook?

Researchers have shown different ways in which attackers can obtain sensitive information. One of them is by creating several Facebook posts that contain different combinations.

These combinations serve to categorize victims based on several criteria like age, gender, and location. If a specific website embeds the posts together on a webpage, only a few concrete posts will be displayed based on the Facebook profile data for individuals that match the settings for a restricted audience.

For example, if you mark a specific post to be appropriate and visible for male users over the age of 30 and that post loads correctly, then the hacker can learn valuable private information about the visitors on the page, no matter what their privacy settings are.

This sounds relatively simple thing to do, but there are no sure ways for website administrators to determine whether the post displays appropriately for a specific visitor or it has failed to do so.
