Vulnerability of Facebook
Today (27th July, 2008) I got a call from one of my friends and he asked me “Machang Mayu, what is that HIV discussion in AIESEC office and all?”
“What? What discussion? No one told me about it”
“It seems you have created an event in Facebook for a discussion forum”
“WTF, I don’t even know about it. Hold on… I’ll check on facebook”
I checked facebook, and yes indeed there is an event created by me and people were invited. How come? I never created one. On top of all two friends have accepted the invitation, but they didn’t actually accept the invitation.
What is going on in Facebook? Anyone got same kind of experiences?
After this I changed my password and security question. Hope no one hacked into my Facebook account.
Recently I read an article in BBC about facebook. BBC guys created an application which looks like an interesting game, but in background it’ll collect sensitive information from users’ profile. It seems Facebook is no longer a safe place to play around. Watch your steps as you walk in community network sites.

Mayu have u noticed the number of applications people use on FB??…Whenever I visit a friend’s profile, it takes me around five minutes to track the wall..:P…. People tend to accept every application they’re invited to, it is quite annoying…
And they say that even though you might not have the malicious application. if your friend has it, it can get information off your account…creepy hah??..
