It was originally called Buddy Hack (to be used if a friend leaves Facebook logged in), but I presume someone made them change it to Hack My Facebook. More confusing, less liability.

Facebook banned the app when the point was to hack another account.

They put the app back up under a new name / context to comply and demo the app.

Exactly...we realized that people were even using Buddy Hack to mess with their friends by "hacking" their own Facebook's, so we pivoted to Hack My Facebook.
