We have had issues with a FB application basically doing a DOS against a network. This was not on our servers but somewhere out there on the Internet. It was an application that was going rogue. It was talking to several of our user¹s using this application. FaceBook caught it and made the developer fix the App. I am sure we were not the only ones seeing the issue. Justin From: "Patrick W.

Would anyone happen to have an operations contact at Facebook by anychance? Our systems are being overwhelmed by a facebook application that we were neither aware of nor condoned.
Clearly I do not have all the information, so please forgive me for being confused. But since when do I[*] have to ask you before I put an application on my server? If FB put an application on your server, that seems like something you should have known up front. -- TTFN, patrick [*] No, I do not work for FB.
