Remove your home address and mobile phone number from your Facebook
A security expert is warning users of Facebook to remove their home addresses and mobile phone numbers from their profiles as the website now gives third parties access to that information.
The social networking site announced in a blog post at the weekend that it would give developers of applications access to the contact information of users who install their apps.
"These permissions must be explicitly granted to your application by the user via our standard permissions dialogs," Facebook's Jeff Bowen said. "Please note that these permissions only provide access to a user's address and mobile phone number, not their friend's addresses or mobile phone numbers." But Sophos security expert Graham Cluley, in a blog post on the firm's site, questioned the move.
