Facebook Ticker exposing your information and behavior without your knowledge
Nelson Novaes Neto, a Brazilian (independent) Security and Behavior Research have analyze a privacy issue in Facebook Ticker that allows any person chasing you without your knowledge or consent . He explain that this is not a code vulnerability, but here the whole issue is related to users privacy. Nelson said on his blog "This tool - monitor others began to run when it a new feature...called Ticker. This new feature does not respect the privacy settings and it now Comments (updates), add friends, likes and can be seen others without your permission. You really know a friend tell me if it is real or fake profile - cloned?" The issue is now public , because according to Nelson, he reported this privacy issue to Facebook Secutiry team a few months ago and until now he haven’t get any positive response from facebook. He said "Considering I respect some code of ethics (that protect society, commonwealth and infrastructure.) I think it was going completely against users desires and worth to be shared with everyone." The only complete solution is to DEACTIVATE your account!
