The BBC technology program 'Click' unveiled a security flaw in a social networking portal Facebook which could compromise privacy.
Using a simple malicious application could open up yourself and your friends (who do not need to install the application) to ID fraud. The BBC has shot a video to demonstrate the flaw and if you are an avid Facebook user I suggest you watch it and take note. The techniques described in the video are still vague but if one of your friends only has to add the application and this opens your Facebook profile up this is a serious flaw.
Watch out the video here.
