(One of the techniques they use is called "clickjacking".)<br /><br />I don't know if you can find such detailed information about application authorisations; maybe ask in Facebook support forums?Mankihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01719555448858778552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28645193.post-11019917225806596942012-05-13T15:07:01.687+05:302012-05-13T15:07:01.687+05:30Thnx for the tip.

Just logged onto my FB account and found this Zoosk app that I never approved and it just made me wonder if FB can grant permission to applications without your consent or even notifying you? Or how do I find out from which device or IP address the application granted access? Really desperate in finding this out, in this moment I'm busy searching the net but haven't come up with anything yet. Plzzzz help!!!Xollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16481207258922812830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28645193.post-23316358400605445262010-02-07T21:59:23.328+05:302010-02-07T21:59:23.328+05:30@Freya: yes, I was surprised too.

I haven't gotten the new Facebook yet; but I mercilessly blocked all the apps sometime back, so I don't get much spam :)Mankihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01719555448858778552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28645193.post-47451471781636361612010-02-07T21:11:27.029+05:302010-02-07T21:11:27.029+05:30Hey Kannan,

Just finished a clean-up. <br /><br />I was so surprised to see the number there...Pretty crazy, had not realised I interact with so many apps on facebook :D<br /><br />The new updates on facebook make apps ask an additional question - do we give them permission to use our email ID to send us updates. I think it will be very important to remember to click no if we want to keep that email ID away from spam.<br /><br />Also With the new update now I hope, we will not see any Farmville and Mafia Wars updates.... Yiippeee... :) <br /><br />Cheers<br />FreyaFreyahttp://blog.fatema.innoreply@blogger.com
