So what's to stop some unscrupulous person putting this graphic on their site:

popping up this in a window

and basically phishing user data?

if a site who used facebook connect got hacked it could be an even bigger issue - as users are used to logging in on the site vs. a phishing site that doesn't have any trust built.

after a successful day phishing, they have the data and log into fb to spam all their new friends about the benefits of acai and colon cleanse or whatever else.

am i missing something? or is fb saying to its user base - burden is on you when you log into facebook connect outside of facebook.
 


All social networks started and are phishing site why do you think all of them ask for your "email inviter" address so they can spam all your contacts when you sign up
 
Apparently I'm not the only one who's hated the idea of single login systems (Microsoft Passport, anyone?) and their potential for phishing... But I guess the term "phishing" didn't apply back then.
 
Wouldnt you know it... look what I get when I log into facebook
Ok secret time, over the past year I had been trying everything to lose weight and nothing worked until Sara showed me these Akai pills, I watched as she lost over 30 pounds in a short time and kept losing, she said they are only available on the internet and they work like magic with no side effects. I didn't believe it until I ordered them and now I lost 18 pounds in less then a month and still dropping. We order from http://my0606346b.blogspot.com/?id=55
