I Didn't Post That!

Several times I have seen posts on Facebook from folks who say "I Didn't Post That, please ignore it".

'That' is something malicious and I am wondering how 'that' managed to get posted from the user's account!

One thing could be the user has a weak password for Facebook.  But the users that posted "I didn't post that" are fairly computer savvy and should have used good passwords.

Now we are finding out that third party apps (like Farmville) are probably the culprits although they are probably not aware of the security issue.

Net-Security explains.

Egads, what next Facebook?
