    Facebook just confirmed that potentially 90M users -- if they used FB to log into 3rd-party apps/sites -- could have exposed access to those apps/sites as well. FB says it has invalidated data tokens for 3rd-party apps/site for those 90M affected https://krebsonsecurity.com/2018/09/facebook-security-bug-affects-90m-users/ …

        This is exactly the threat that we explored in our recent @USENIXSecurity paper with @kaytwo, @stevecheckoway, @m0eb1t. SSO providers are now single points of failure, and any account compromise will have a domino effect for a massive num. of other sites. https://www.usenix.org/conference/usenixsecurity18/presentation/ghasemisharif ….

        This made me chuckle as I remember Trump saying a very similar thing in 2016 in Iowa during the campaign.

        I'm curious what makes an account "affected" or "may have been impacted". Does this just mean that the "view as" feature was used by some potentially non-malicious actor, or does it mean an access token was actually misused?

        I’d be surprised if it was purely coincidental with their claim that they saw an irregular spike in traffic on 16th Sept. They might have realised the provenance of the issue but could not nail down the actual vulnerability.

        I remember thinking federation authentication, while convenient, was a bad idea for this reason alone. I regret ever giving into this option. #Amithe90M #HopeNot #ProbablySopic.twitter.com/UPkoAnJgWf
