Clicking the link leads you to “a webpage which looks as if it’s about to reveal that information — but is actually designed to make you take an online survey instead.” The scammers make money on every survey taken. And if you have given the rogue app permission to access your account, it’ll start sending out similar tweets under your account’s name.

One new article link has been added to our Related News page. Digital Life published an article titled Your iPhone is secretly tracking you all the time.

Alasdair Allan and Pete Warden, a pair of security researchers, recently discovered that iPhones — as well as 3G-enabled iPads — running iOS 4 constantly record and store their users’ locations in unencrypted files. These files are basically very long lists of latitude-longitude coordinates and timestamps, and they can be found on the devices themselves as well as within the software backups saved on users’ computers.

According to a report by the Daily Telegraph, Facebook is kicking out roughly 20,000 underage users per day.

In a meeting with Australia’s cyber-safety committee, Facebook’s chief privacy adviser Mozelle Thompson agreed that underage users were taking advantage of the site. After all, any user no matter his or her age can register for the site by simply lying when signing up — Facebook has no mechanisms to detect whether a teen is telling the truth or not.
