Facebook sues analytics firm that stole user data through third-party apps
Facebook has filed a federal lawsuit against a company called OneAudience, accusing it of stealing the personal information of its users. According to Facebook's announcement, OneAudience paid third-party developers to install a malicious software development kit (SDK) in their apps that allowed it to collect people's data without their knowledge.
Some apps used Twitter and Facebook logins to steal personal information
If you've used your Twitter or Facebook account to log in to another app on your phone, some of your personal information could have been accessed by shady developers. On Monday, Twitter published a notice on its website that says that some third-party developers may have used a software development kit called oneAudience to obtain your email, username and last tweet and shared it with the company that created the tool. Facebook says it too had fallen victim to the oneAudience scam and plans to issue a similar notice to its users later today.
