Facebook disables rogue data-stealing, spamming apps | Tech News on ZDNet

A note from the “Your Never Safe Department”. 

Security firm Trend Micro warned on Wednesday that a handful of rogue Facebook apps are stealing login credentials and spamming victims' friends.

It is so irritating that nothing is indefinitely safe and secure. But be aware and be careful.
