By the time you finish reading this headline, there will have been 28 hack attempts on Facebook
As part of the announcement of Facebook's new "trusted friends" feature (which lets you choose up to five friends to have access to your account), the company said that .06% of logins are compromised every day. That's unauthorized people trying to log in to an account that isn't theirs. That works out to 600,000 attempted hacks every day or seven per second.
Besides the trusted friend thing, Facebook is offering an app password feature. So if you want to use an app, you can establish a different password than the one you use on Facebook. That way, you're not giving the app maker access to your Facebook login.
Here's my question today: About the historical insinuation of one person's app use into another person's privacy:
When a person uses an app on FB, doesn't it say that it's giving that app access to not only all of my info, but also that of each of my friends. For the longest time, I resisted; I don't use FB apps. However, I've compromised by clicking like and share on articles and see that it seems to connect up to my friends in some way.
What's the deal? Since when is it ethical to give away your friends' info? AND--how far does this really go?
