    FB's press office is no doubt being flooded now, but a key unanswered question is whether this bug impacts non-facebook properties, since millions of site let people log in with their FB accounts. Anyone have a firm answer on this one way or the other?https://newsroom.fb.com/news/2018/09/security-update/ …

        Hi Brian - we've invalidated data access for third party apps for affected individuals that have signed in with Facebook Login. This can cause some users to be logged out of the third party apps, and they will have to log back in.

        No clue all I know is my external apps that were linked to Facebook had all their sessions killed this morning. I would think they would have had access if they were able to gain an access token to the Facebook account.

        I feel as if this indicates our suspicions are correct that, yes, this breach also impacted the security of apps using FB as an authentication platform.

        This also has an impact of breach notification, two ways: 1) do affected non-FB properties (like Tinder) also have to notify? 2) FB simply notify upon next FB login does not really catch those users who created a FB account just to use a non-FB property

        A key question should be when does Facebook's willful disregard for security, despite a sufficient budget, constitute criminal negligence? They're an embarrassment to the tech community

        From the sound of it, this is about an API token allowing access to Facebook APIs. OAuth authentication against third-party apps works differently and wouldn't be affected - unless the API token can be used for deeper account compromise. But that's pure guessing of course.

        Apparently revoking the credential it was possible to steal will log you out of Facebook login apps, so i would presume that they were in fact vulnerablepic.twitter.com/VNJxV5FUha

        Absolute excellent question. It’s the same as google accounts allowing multiple application logins. When one domino falls, do the others?

        Not likely, it just sounds like "View Us" was treated as an all-scope profiled app (preapproved by FB, like Instagram) to show you what the other user actually sees. And there were ways to leak that token, (but obviously just friends) so they had to pivot from friends to friends!
