Oops:
“A massive Facebook breach may also have affected users of hundreds of other websites and apps. But three days after the public disclosure of the breach, it’s not clear that those companies know what, if anything, might have happened to their users.
“A spokesperson for the dating app Tinder said Monday that Facebook (FB) has shared only “limited information” and called on Facebook to be “transparent” about which of Tinder’s users may have been affected.”
We noted earlier that this security breach was bigger than Faceberg because the ubiquitous nature of Facebook and other companies using the Facebook logon (Single Sign-On) instead of providing their own authentication. But according to the CNN article, besides dating apps, GoFundMe, AirBnB, and other services are now trying to figure out if their users have been hit.
