For any Facebook users this maybe a bit worrying!
Quote:
Facebook's new social features allow apps to be added to user profiles without notification being given to the user. Macworld discovered this new security concern and compared it to malware considering the secretive nature surrounding the way these apps are being added.
When a user goes to specific websites whilst logged into Facebook an app for the website is instantly added to the user profile. There is no prompt to the user, the Facebook window does not have to be open and you do not need to be signed into the website which adds the app. Currently there is no option to stop the app from being added in Facebook's privacy and application settings.
