Yes. Bypasses security.
At risk are those who use Facebook to access their banking services.
Ouch !!!
Worth bringing up here.
I wouldn't want someone to mess with games in here.
I'm ok though.
I don't have a Facebook account.
Never had the inclination.
@very-rusty saidnevermind the bank account... what if they tank my precious chess rating?? 😲
I believe you would have to have your bank information on your computer for that to happen.
I heard about that too, alot of people I know use facebook.
I don't know what interest a hacker with that kind of knowledge would have with playing around with chess games even if they could get in.
I think they are more interested in accessing peoples Bank accounts.

It is very worrisome for FB, so soon after the Cambridge Analytica incident.
There is probably very little that hackers could do with RHP logins alone, since very little money flows through these portals, unlike, for example, amazon or lotto web sites. However, it might be one piece of a complex puzzle which pays out for some organised crime syndicate.

Thankfully, I haven't been active on FB in about 10 years. Way too intrusive.

Originally posted by @shallow-bluePeople have been warned and still don't take the risk seriously. Uncautious people have been led astray by overzealous geeks, such as Zuckerberg, claiming that they have everything secured. They don't.
In other words, idiots. Sorry, there's no other word for it.

Originally posted by @moonbusRHP has recurring payment methods, those records are held somewhere... just like Lotto or amazon.
