Thread: Facebook Apps May Leak Your Personal Info

Many Facebook users are inadvertently providing access to their names and in some cases even their friend's names to advertising and Internet tracking companies using Apps.

As you using systems that use facebook Apps allow acesss to your account, some violating the rules sharing your private information.

Facebook mentioned they would be taking steps to minimize this kind of violations to their terms of use.

yes, i have heard of this news this morning. hope facebook has something to do.

it seem to be like nuclear leakage now
two congressmen been asking facebook about it today.

I read it somewhere that Facebook has admited to this that personal info is being hacked and leaked from their apps. but if you want to protect your info on fb you can always choose what to show and what not to show on your profile.

It's been obvious to me. That's why I try not to use many random apss in FB.

I think in this way millions of Facebook app users are affected, including those who use its strictest Privecy settings.

thanx for info.........

I have read about it...
It's a shame, for a website that earns million of dollars.
I cant believe with such money to be unable to protect their clients personal information.
Maybe we shall think twice before we submit personal information on facebook.

I read somewhere that Facebook has allowed where personal information is hacked and flight applications. but if you want to protect your information in fb can always choose what to see and do not show in your profile.
