Facebook Evidence Shows No Third-Party App Logins in Breach

There's no evidence those behind Facebook’s recent hack (see 1810010032) accessed other applications using the Facebook login, it said Tuesday. The company analyzed logs “for all third-party apps installed or logged in during the attack,” Vice President-Product Management Guy Rosen wrote. Fifty million users’ access tokens were stolen, and the platform as a precaution reset access for another 40 million. In a separate issue, the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood accused Facebook of improperly collecting children’s data without proper parental consent on Facebook Messenger Kids. The group asked the FTC to investigate. The agency didn’t comment. A Facebook spokesperson said in a statement that parents, safety experts and privacy experts agree Messenger Kids is "one of the safest apps for kids to connect with their family and friends, and we also continue to support research on the relationship between technology and kids' wellbeing.”
