Reason number 313 to avoid Facebook. Any data there is NEVER private.
Interesting. The story mentioned that 10 apps have been compromised, but didn’t tell which 10 they were. Isn’t that the whole point of reporting, to actually report new information?
I don’t suppose there’s a free link to the WSJ article? this one seems to be very short on info...namely which of the millions of apps were breached...
I took a trivia test on facebook last year. I had to provide a cell phone number in order to find out my score. Two months later we started getting a recurring monthly charge for 8 bucks on our cell phone bill for a “trivia question of the week” service.
FWIW, I tried to find the article on the WSJ. No luck. Must be on the paid side.
“Any data there is NEVER private. “
It’s kinda the whole point behind Facebook. It is there to make your data public.
Zynga is one filthy dirty corporation. I recommend removing any and all Zynga apps if you use Facebook. There is a lot more serious violations that have yet to be reported on. Facebook would be wise to remove the relationship, but they are both seedy companies and the bed letting will continue as long as money rolls in.
