Change Your Facebook Password!

So there has been a bit of a security development with Facebook over the course of the last week.  Take the time and read the Symantec Blog Post:  Facebook Applications Accidentally Leaking Access to Third Parties.  To summarize what all that technospeak actually means, through this vulnerability there is the potential for some with access to these tokens to actually interact with your account.  This all depends on the level of access that you gave the Facebook application that leaked your token.  For example if the application you gave permission to has the ability to post to your wall then the who ever gets that token can also do the same.  Why should you care?  Simply put some could put a link to a malicious website on you wall for all your friends to see.  They would be likely to follow it because it appears to be coming from you a trusted source.  Facebook has fixed this issue going forward but in order to invalidate old tokens all you need to do is change your password.  So go do it, now. www.facebook.com
