Facebook Warning: These Apps are Stealing Passwords – Are You Affected?

By iPad Pete 5 Comments

Meta has notified around a million users that they may have been put at risk by over 400 malicious apps that steal your Facebook password.

The notifications aim to inform people of the steps they should take to secure their accounts if they’ve entered their login details.

If the attackers have access to a Facebook account, they also have the freedom to change the password and lock the victim out.

Meta is also providing advice to users on how to spot malicious apps, such as apps that ask for social media credentials or have poor reviews.

If users suspect they’ve downloaded a malicious app, it’s recommended that they create a new, strong password and apply multi-factor authentication to their Facebook account.

Facebook has detailed a list of the malicious apps for Android and iOS in their security warning about accounts being compromised.

The company also reported the findings to Google and Apple.
