FBstalker is a tool that automates queries against Facebook’s Graph Search feature. The tool collects data from users of the social network that can be used by phishers and hackers to gain access to networks.
Facebook has patched a privacy vulnerability in Facebook Pages Manager for Android.
Facebook is serious about its new Graph Search feature, which helps users of the social media site narrowly search for friends with common interests in a much more intuitive fashion than a Google search, for example. Founder Mark Zuckerberg had tagged Graph Search the third Facebook pillar, right alongside the site’s news feed and timeline. So why are security and privacy experts nervous? There’s some serious horsepower behind Graph Search, and there are users whose interests aren’t as benign as finding friends of friends in a particular location who happen to like country music, fine wine and yoga.
