WSJ报导:”热门“社交游戏向第三方泄露玩家资料

发布时间:2010-10-18 14:01:47 Tags:,,,

震惊!几款Facebook应用(如FarmVille)对外泄露了用户资料。也许Mark Zuckerberg这几周处理的重大问题就是关于用户的游戏体验和私隐保密?不论如何,这个问题严重违反了Facebook网站的原则和规定。

《华尔街日报》(WSJ)提到,由于Facebook游戏开发公司Zynga的社交游戏受到用户的广泛欢迎,因此,“上千万”Facebook用户可能受到这一问题的影响。

被泄露的用户资料包括用户的Facebook ID。通过用户ID,广告商或其他信息追踪公司可以在社交网络上查到该用户的姓名和其他信息。另外,因为Facebook允许第三方浏览被感染用户的朋友列表,所以即使有些不曾玩过FarmVille等社交游戏的Facebook用户资料也有可能被泄露。

目前Facebook还未对有关问题做出回复。(本文为游戏邦/gamerboom.com编译)

Interesting. Certain Facebook apps (ahem, Farmvile) are sharing user info. Maybe that big Jobs-Zuckerberg sit down two weeks ago was a scolding about privacy and user experience? Probably not. In any event the sharing goes against Facebook’s own rules.

The report arrives this evening thanks to reporting done over at the Wall Street Journal. In their report, we learn that “tens of millions” of users could be affected, mostly thanks to popular apps created by Facebook games mega developer Zynga. Yes, virtual farmers, this includes your precious Farmville app!

The shared info includes Facebook user IDs, which advertisers and other tracking firms can use to look up user’s names and other info on the social network. Oh, and even if you didn’t use Farmville or Texas Hold’em, you are still vulnerable, as the breach allows third parties to view the friend lists of affected users and get your information that way. Swell!

Facebook has not yet responded to calls for comment, from the WSJ, CNET or otherwise. In the meantime, lock down those farms, people. (Source:WSJ)
