How are they getting access to facebook profiles???

• Xichekolas 18y ago
  Unless you disable it in the privacy options, your facebook profile has a special view available to non-members and search engines.

  Quite. They have me tied by email address to Facebook and I'm 200% certain that my email address there is not "publicly-available information". Facebook permitting this app to operate will give it serious legal trouble in the EU.

    Same here. Annoying.

    Are you sure your email address is not available on your profile -- even when a search engine finds your profile?

      Supposedly you can set the visibility of your email to non-friends or non-network users. The problem here is that I have my FB email setting on private (friends only), and yet somehow this site can see it. Methinks they may be simply attempting to log in with that email as your username... maybe Facebook returns a different error depending on non-existent username vs. wrong password. Very dumb of FB in that case, and must be fixed.

        Email is still searchable, even if it is set to private. If someone types in your email address, they obviously already have it...

  seriously, how are they picking up on my reddit, digg and forum accounts and what can i do for them not to?
