Meta's researchers have discovered more than 400 malicious Android and Apple apps designed to steal personal Facebook logins.

It’s a good thing that no right-minded FReeper has an FB account.

Right? /s

Facebook is dying. It’s following in the footsteps of MySpace, which followed in the footsteps of AOL.

Several years ago when I had a Facebook account, I discovered there was another account with my name and picture being used originating from another country. I couldn’t even change my password, because the “fake” me had already changed the password. FB is one of the most insecure platforms out there. It didn’t take long to figure out that you shouldn’t buy any product offered on Facebook, as they get all of your credit card information when you order and either send you a crappy product from China or nothing at all.

Sting song every Breath You Take

… Every breath you take and every move you make
Every bond you break, every step you take, I’ll be watching you
Every single day and every word you say
Every game you play, every night you stay, I’ll be watching you
… Oh, can’t you see you belong to me

Facebook is the toilet; Twitter is the cesspool. Don’t eat from the toilet.
