Mobile numbers, addresses on Facebook 'a security risk'

                                                                A security expert has warned that users should remove their home addresses and phone number from their Facebook accounts.

Graham Cluley said the website now gives third parties access to that information.

The website said in a blog at the weekend that it would give developers of application access to the contact information of users who install their apps.
"These permissions must be explicitly granted to your application by the user via our standard permissions dialogs. Please note that these permissions only provide access to a user's address and mobile phone number, not their friend's addresses or mobile phone numbers," the Sydney Morning Herald quoted Facebook's Jeff Bowen as saying.
