Newly discovered Facebook bug allows apps to block users from their account while giving hackers access to contact lists, phone numbers, and other private information.
When bug-testing a new Facebook app, a group of programmers recently found that with the right coding, an app could block users from accessing their own account while giving a hacker access to contact lists, phone numbers, e-mails, and other private information. Locked out from their account, the user would be unable to disconnect the app and revoke its permissions.
