In response to this, Facebook Chief Security Officer Alex Stamos said his apology.

According to him, the company is making improvements on this. He also mentioned, users who can not feature two-factor authentication will not be there SMS.

Unfortunately, Facebook easily called it a bug. Release, this is evidence that the company can not implement security features well.

"It's not our intention of sending unrelated SMS to my phone number number so sorry for the inconvenience," Stamos said.

Furthermore, he said, Facebook has ensured that users who activate the two-factor authetication do not receive similar SMS spam.

"We hope that this can be completed in the coming days, it's not a deliberate thing, it's a bug," he said.

This is certainly considered very bad, especially Facebook now asks users to use generator code via mobile app or two-factor-authentication when they want to login.

Both are the security layer that Facebook implements so that others can not log in to a user's Facebook account must have entered the correct password.
