Face Book open to hackers!

By Grant Draper

Face book has an ever growing popular audience in the 21st century fad, that is, online social networking.

By setting up a fake profile, the BBC managed to steal the basic details of the fake account, which could easily progress into stealing someone’s identity

Face book has become what it is today because of the variety of applications users can add to their profile, whether it is a quiz or game.

Well, astonishingly, a harmless act, such as adding an application, could see your identity stolen.

By adding an application, unless you state otherwise, it collects your personal details in the background, and as it’s run on a third party server, Face book is not responsible for the consequences.

With the current findings, and with its main competitor, My Space, opening a similar application sharing social network website this month, Face book may have to step up its game.
