PSA: "Facebook logins aren't being properly protected on iPhones, iPads and Android devices"

Story at Sophos, http://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2012/04/05/facebook-logins-iphone-ipad/

Sounds like  more of a problem when you play Facebook games on my first read through.

The Sophos story is citing Gareth Wright's Blog at http://garethwright.com/blog/facebook-mobile-security-hole-allows-identity-theft

Though the Sophos title mentions Androids, I did not see anything in the actual articles to support this being a problem on Android.

Though I am not a computer programing nerd, so perhaps this is clearly a cross platform issue?

In any case, one more reason to be very careful with Facebook.
