Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at Sophos, explained that users of the social networking site are reacting to a mystery application that may or may not be spying on them.

Facebook users are passing around a message, warning each other about the application, called the 'Unnamed app', and unwittingly creating an opportunity for hackers.

"Users are told in the warning that they can find the 'Unnamed app' by going to 'Settings'/'Application Settings' and then choosing 'Add to Profile' from the drop-down box," said Cluley in a blog post. "Sure enough, when I went to look on a Facebook account, I found an 'Unnamed app'."
