An App Goes Rogue

February 27th, 2009

It amazes me that people still click on every link they get in email, irregardless of where it originated.

Just in time for the weekend, social networks Facebook and MySpace were dealing with several new security issues on Friday that could expose personal information and communications from friends.

Facebook said it had removed a new rogue application that was spamming users and exposing their information. Before it was halted, the application sent messages claiming that a friend had reported the recipient for violating Facebook’s terms of service and offered a link to click to find out more information.

At least Facebook was on top of things with this one.
