Meta warns 1 million Facebook users their login info may have been
compromised

The social media giant found 400 malicious apps designed to steal Facebook
login information.

Meta's researchers found more than 400 malicious Android
and Apple iOS apps this year that were designed to steal
the personal Facebook login information of its users,
the company said Friday in a blog post.

Meta spokesperson Gabby Curtis confirmed that Meta is
warning 1 million users who may have been affected by the apps.

Meta said the apps they identified were listed in Apple's app store
and Google Play Store as games, photo editors, health and lifestyle
services and other types of apps to trick people into downloading them.

Often the malicious app would ask users to login with Facebook and later
steal their username and password, according to the company.

Good Morning, Arlen Arabica ... *ROTFLSTC*

Social Media - especially those from Google and Zuckerberg - are
"DigiDrugs" and extremly dangerous.

No pity for these addicts.

Using such malware on a mobile devices is like comitting digital
suicide. Most of these addicts will learn it only the hard way.

I think there's a question which should instantly elucidate who is
vulnerable to these login stealing flaws which will always exist.

(QUESTION) What apps do you have on your phone which require a login?

What app do I want to use on your phone that requires a login?
I have one. Email. Nothing else. Just email.

What apps do others want to use on their phones that require a login?
?

An app which automatically filters all posts from 'Arlen Holder' and
his umpteen [1] nymshifts?

Arlen, this statement shows how little you understand. The login is not
requested by the mail app. The login is required by the provider of the
mail account.
