Facebook security with Runescape

[Sefket]

If no one saw, today Jagex added a FaceBook button on your log on screen:

"Below the 'Play Now' button on the homepage is a new 'Log in with Facebook' button, which you can use to log into the RuneScape game. (You can also access our site features, such as the forums, through a similar button on the website login page.) Normally, this will log you straight in, but the first time you use this button you’ll need to log into your Facebook account (which installs a RuneScape app on your Facebook account; you will need to grant permission for this), and associate it with a Jagex account of your choice (optional). You can toggle this account association on or off in RuneScape Account Management. The RuneScape app can also be removed to revoke the permissions you granted, through the Facebook site under 'Privacy Settings', should you ever wish to do so. If you are using a shared computer, we also highly recommend you check that you are logged out of Facebook too after leaving the game. For more information, check out the Facebook Connect - FAQ forum thread."

And then I found this on Runescape forums:

Jagex didn't really made good research first about the security of Facebook. Facebook users are vulnerable to hijacking, with the use of an opensource Firefox plug-in: Firesheep.

Now those players that linked their Runescape accounts to a Facebook handle login are vulnerable with Firesheep as well. Terrible idea by Jagex, terrible.

Quick find code: 129-130-992-62816359

Now I don't know if that is true or not.. but for pre-caution, if you were planning on using Facebook with Runescape, I would highly suggest not to.

Unless you actually looked like a greater demon. Then it wouldn't be too much of a problem.

If it was a French greater demon it would accomodate nicely.

If it was a Italian greater demon it would accomodate nicely.

And if it was an overweight greater demon, would suffice in your case  :Hi:

Stupid idea

[Dannhyz]

I laughed for about 2 minutes when I saw the facebook login. Went to the forums instandly.

And its true that there has been alot of hijacking of personal information through sites like hyves, facebook and myspace. All by using the gadgets.
