Facebook Sues Porn Company

According to the Toronto Star, Facebook is suing the company SlickCash for attempting to access the Facebook servers over 200,000 times. According to court documents, SlickCash was attempting to access user profile data without the approval of Facebook. Facebook is claiming to have suffered over $5,000 in damage. I would guess that the legal fees are going to end up costing Facebook more than $5,000 but at least they can get an injunction filed against the company.

Luckily for users, the porn company that attempted to hack Facebook was unsuccessful and only returned error messages.
