Facebook announced that it has not found any evidence (as yet) of its cyber attackers accessing third party sites via Facebook Login.
This follow’s Friday’s revelations by the company that hackers exploited a loophole in the “View As” feature on the social networking platform and as a result got access to information of over 50 million of users. The company said last week that it took care of the situation, but was still investigating into any potential misuse of information by hackers.
"We have now analyzed our logs for all third-party apps installed or logged during the attack we discovered last week. That investigation has so far found no evidence that the attackers accessed any apps using Facebook Login." said Facebook's Guy Rosen in the latest statement. Many apps including Tinder, Spotify and Airbnb let people access their services through Facebook Login credentials.
Hackers might not have misused other apps while infiltrating Facebook data, but the attack potentially puts the users of the third-party apps at risk. "We're sorry that this attack happened — and we'll continue to update people as we find out more," Rosen said.
