Again a complaint of leakage of 3 million users
The researchers kept their information on the web portal
Data was collected through third party apps this year
Such 200 apps are canceled
A few days ago, Facebook came under severe criticism. Users have not been able to scam the information scandal, but again, three million users have been accused of leaks of information against social media. This information is available in the journal Science and Technology, New Scientist.
Facebook users have collected information on Cambridge University's research. Information of 30 million users is kept in the university's own web portal for researchers. There was a username and password to enter the portal. However, the unidentified students spread their password and username online. Now almost all the search engines are able to find information on the web. The information leakage was released on Monday.
This time, information collected through third party apps like Cambridge analytics. About four years ago, a person named 'Myoprosnity' collected data from Facebook through a testing app. The collected information is kept at the researchers' own web portal. And at the same time, any of the students of the study related to GitHouse username and password uploaded.
The app called MyPersonality was canceled on April 7 of the year. However, the information about this leaked information has not come forward so much.
Aim Archengong, chief of Facebook's product partnership, said in a statement: "We have stopped the functionality of the app since about a month ago. We believe the app may have violated Facebook's policy. "The information leak is being investigated by Facebook, he said.
