Rogue Facebook apps steal log-in data, send spam

Facebook apps: I'm already deeply suspicious of facebook apps. Many of them seem to
be little more than chain letters ("send this to all of your friends") and
many of the "send a drink/snack/smile/ETC" seem to encourage
content-free communication. Also, I'm bombarded by "send a drink,
ETC" requests from friends who I know have something better to do. My
suggestion - sign your messages with a catch-phrase and tell your
friends to ignore anything that doesn't have the catch-phrase.; Posted by: a.barry@... Posted on: 08/20/09 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
