Secret Crush Gets Shutdown
Secret Crush, an applications that we wrote about last week, has been finally shut down. Fortinet has published a report notifying individuals of spyware that would be installed if you used the application. The spyware being installed was for an affiliate program called “Zango cash.” The application was nothing more than a tool for helping spread the spyware. Over 1.5 million individuals installed the software prior to it being removed from the Facebook platform.
This brings up an interesting issue: should there be more restrictions in launching a Facebook app for the public? Ultimately, this application was able to spread virally without being approved for the Facebook application directory.
