The truth behind the Facebook phone syncing furore
- From: news.com.au
- August 15, 2011
EVERYONE loves it when Facebook makes a mistake, but this time, it may be users who've got it wrong.
Sometime in the past few weeks, you may have seen a status update from a friend warning about mobile phone numbers being "published" by Facebook.
"ALL THE PHONE NUMBERS (sic) in your phone are now on Facebook," says one popular version of the warning.
"Re-post this on your status, so friends can remove their numbers and thus prevent abuse if they do not want them published."
As it turns out, this is old news. It's also wrong.
The option to sync your mobile phone contacts to your Facebook account has been around since version 3.1 of the Facebook for iPhone app, released last January.
The service lets you store a backup of all your contact numbers on Facebook, to use if you lose your phone.
The numbers are not published for public view. Only you can see them, and Facebook told news.com.au it did not sell or share users' phone numbers with third parties.
So, what's with all the outrage?
Nick Ellsmore of security firm Stratsec said that with this kind of public panic came a certain enjoyment — people want Facebook to be wrong.
"Facebook exists really in a world of its own," he told news.com.au.
"There's obviously the movie The Social Network, there's all of the various privacy issues and privacy concerns that have happened over the years.
"There are a lot of people looking for it to have security and privacy problems, and a lot of people who want it to have (those) problems."
A spokesperson for Facebook told news.com.au that the syncing service was structured to make sure only you could see your contact numbers.
"Rumours claiming that your phone contacts are visible to everyone on Facebook are false," they said.
"Our contacts list, formerly called Phonebook, has existed for a long time. The phone numbers listed there were either added by your friends themselves (on Facebook) and made visible to you, or you have previously synced your phone contacts with Facebook.
"Just like on your phone, only you can see these numbers."
While Facebook has in the past been criticised for not communicating important changes to its users, Mr Ellsmore believes that, this time, it may not be the website's fault.
"To be honest I very much doubt it was badly communicated," he said.
"There have been blog posts about it, there's information posted about it, the Facebook page that talks about it explains the fact that this isn't a surprise issue.
"This is a feature, this is something they effectively promoted and one of the reasons why they said their tool and the iPhone app was a good thing."
Mr Ellsmore said that sometimes, users didn't take the time to fully investigate their privacy options on sites like Facebook.
"Certainly there have been various studies done over the years that show pop-up warnings are read to a very limited extent," he said.
"Something pops up and says 'do you want to do this and here's some text explaining what it means'... generally speaking, a lot of people are going to click 'yes' without really taking the time to focus on it."
Far from being risky, Mr Ellsmore said that for many users, a phone number syncing service may actually be useful.
"It's actually a two-way sync," he said.
"The sync of the phone numbers across to Facebook basically means that if you lose your phone then you have that data available elsewhere, which is handy.
"It's basically a back-up technique and we've (as security experts) been telling users to back things up for as long as we can remember.
"The other way it goes is as the phone numbers go from your phone into Facebook, things like your friends' pictures can go across to your phone and update that as well."
One Sydney office worker in her 20s — who asked not to be named — told news.com.au she found having her friends' numbers on Facebook especially useful on nights out.
"Random, meandering nights and especially festivals are the times I've realised that I don't have people's numbers," she said.
"I've gone to post things on people's wall people and been pleasantly surprised by having access to their phone number.
"I have mine on my profile and that's because I want the people I'm connected with to be able to contact me."
However others aren't convinced. Karalee Evans, digital media strategist for ad firm Text 100, said she no longer trusted Facebook after its earlier privacy blunders.
"I run an iPhone and I run a BlackBerry — one's for work and one's personal — and I disabled syncing on both," she said.
"I think if it wasn't Facebook, perhaps it might be a different story. I have other online cloud storage for different things, including my contacts book.
"However I do question the history of Facebook. They have a pretty horrendous history of privacy breaches."
Ms Evans said that despite Facebook's assurances, she believed apps could make people's phone numbers more widely available than they expected and users should be on guard.
"A colleague of mine, she was finding that her mobile number was appearing on her status updates because she was updating from her mobile phone, an iPhone," she said.
"We had to go through her entire profile as well as her phone to find the bug, when you enter your mobile phone when you download the app.
"We had to clear her entire privacy settings to find that. We took the app off the phone and then put it back on and didn't enter the mobile phone number when we were reinstalling it.
"Whether it was a bug specific to what she was uploading at the time, I don't know.
"I guess this is the question, because Facebook does have such a questionable history — how much can you be confident any data you enter, whether its facebook.com or an app, (you'll know) where it goes?"
Regardless of whether the phone syncing features are as diabolical as many believe, Mr Ellsmore said any extra attention being paid to privacy settings was a good thing.
"As much as you say the rumours and furore around this might be a little manufactured and a little unrealistic, I think it serves a valid point if the end result is that (when) someone installs the next version of the Facebook iPhone app and it asks them a question about what they want to sync, they think a little more about it," he said.
"As Facebook starts getting more and more information, as Facebook starts getting access to more data, the important thing really is that users have to be very diligent with protecting their account and treating it like something that is important."

Do people realise that 1) You can adjust your security settings and 2) You don't actually HAVE to have a facebook account.

I closed my account last week after their sensorship of my status update of "lick my cliche". Its time to leave. Google + is still a little slow & clunky with the controls, but has great features including live video streaming & doc sharing. Now is a good time to get onboard and grab your name (before you become John Smith 123)

Facebook have gone out of their way to make privacy and security settings as difficult and as devious as possible; they're there, they just don't want you to find them easily.

it's bloody simple people, and I tested it. if you enter your phone number on facebook then it will appear to your friends. go into profile and delete your number. and tell your friends to do the same if they wish.

Facebook directly associates mobile numbers with facebook contacts. Whether they be your friends or not. It also then associates you with these contacts. On top of this, it can then add extra metadata to each friend including where they live (by looking at phone number). Oh and don't forget they also get any other information stored in your contact. Friends who use anonymously named accounts can then be (by facebook) de-anonymised as your mobile contacts will out the real identity of the person. If you don't think any of this is a bit alarming then I guess you have no problem with a massive company sharing your profile information to 3rd parties. Don't forget that facebook also knows all the websites you visit as in Australia it is legal for ISPs to sell this information. I use facebook knowing that they have all of this information about me, it doesn't mean I won't leave them for google+ in the next months (as more of my friends connect to it).

The way people complain about Facebook is if they are paying to use facebook's services. It is a free service, but yet why are we demanding so much? just be careful what you upload online.

John Warwick of In the clouds Posted at 5:12 PM August 15, 2011
wow, did any of you actually read this? 1st facebook HAS to store your password, or else you couldn't log in, it matches what you type in the password box, to what you set as ur password. 2nd the information that is used from your phone, is only available to the individual and it is NOT sold or distributed, 3rd facebook is a spy machine, you've already given it almost ALL your personal details, if they REALLY wanted to, they could read your emails, but only if you were dumb enough to use the same password for facebook as ur email. to quote the story "people want facebook to be wrong" that sums it up very well, all of you are willing to post stupid messages to friends and use the service that FACEBOOK provides, however when it comes time to pay for said service with the buying of your personal information, everybody acts as if it is really unexpected. there is a price for everything, more so when the controlling company is mainly focused on making money than providing a service. use your brain and READ the article, don't just post what you think....

I definitely can see phone numbers from friends that I don't have listed on my phone. Please check your facts before pasting a Facebook press release as a news article. It would be interesting to see if Facebook releases numbers that are listed on the "Do not Call" register. Could make an interesting class action if numbers were to be misused.

haha, the funniest thing is this: most of you bludgers carrying on about how terrible facebook is and how wrong they are, are probably STILL USING FACEBOOK! You're probably posting "warnings" as your status update as we argue about it! LOL Now THAT'S funny!

Come on people you can come up with better conspiracy stuff than this. What about the CIA, they should be able to get a run or maybe this is part of an alien conspiracy? I'm really not sure if some of these posts were written by smart people who are putting us on or if they are written by imbeciles who really mean it! (Apologies to Mark Twain)

Stop using facebook and living your life through others. Go out and get a real life and do something good instead of making Facebook owners extremely wealthy and providing them with free particulars about you. Your details and information are never deleted from the internet and anyone can pay to find out about you. Make no mistake about this. There no such thing as privacy.

Duane of Melbourne Posted at 4:49 PM August 15, 2011
The biggest threat to any security system is the end user, and the way people treat Facebook and then cry foul when their privacy is breached is hilariously ironic. EVERYONE should know that once something is on Facebook, it's basically there for the world to see. Treat it that way and you'll never be exposed to privacy breaches.

Facebook gives you the option of using "Mobile Security" so they can let you know if your account has been hacked etc.. Isn't that all they're using?

G Orwell Posted at 4:40 PM August 15, 2011
Article is wrong. I downloaded an app designed by FB for Android. All my phone contacts ended up on FB & I was never given an option to opt out. Additionally there is a glitch that Google & FB continue to blame each other for. On some models of Google phone (eg earlier model Nexus S) you cannot access the app sync option to stop your contacts ending up on FB.

Aaron Posted at 4:38 PM August 15, 2011
People are kind of missing what the article is about.... the article is about your PHONEBOOK being public to your friends, not your PHONE NUMBER. And so far everyone who has posted here has proven the security expert correct.

I have always made sure to never sync facebook with my phone and my numbers still appeared on their website...now I'm no expert when it comes to privacy issues or theft, but it would seem to me that my privacy was invaded and the numbers in my phone were stolen by facebook. Google+ here i come.

comwedge of The Colony Posted at 4:19 PM August 15, 2011
What a load of bollocks. Security experts telling us we are wrong lol. Get them to look closer. If your privacy settings are set to public and if you happened to sync your phone...then people can see your mobile number. Even if your privacy settings are on and you sync your phone all your friends can see your mobile. Perhaps you don't want every "friend" to see your mobile number. Take another look...

Useful as a backup yes, but I did not consent to Facebook taking my data from my phone. I certainly do not approve of Facebook then using this "backup" to try and match friends!!

Mark of Sydney Posted at 4:10 PM August 15, 2011
No consumer DID not get it wrong. Facebook did as usual. Facebook must acknowledge one thing, Customers is always right, which they never have. Customer privacy must be always set private, unless customer say so. Facebook always continually trying to change customer's privacy by stealth. I will never use Facebook to backup my numbers or contact details. In fact I do not even trust them to search my email for Friends as I sure they will store my password.

Dan of QLD Posted at 4:09 PM August 15, 2011
I don't understand why people don't tweak the security settings to suit themselves. I have made two lists on Facebook - one made of close friends and family and the other made up of people whom I know but I wouldn't really call friends. This way I can choose who can see my photos and status updates etc. because there are some people that I don't want to show my photos too. It seems most people are too happy to leave everything on the default settings so all your information can be seen by anyone and everyone.

Rod of Qld Posted at 4:01 PM August 15, 2011
I can see the phone numbers of people I have on my friends list. A couple of them didn't even realise they had put their numbers up for viewing but it must have something to do with accessing facebook from their mobile phones.
Comment 31 of 46
andrew of Perth Posted at 3:55 PM August 15, 2011
Rodger & Forth: This is because those people have added their own mobile number on their profile, which is then viewable by any of their friends unless they adjust their security settings. Even though you haven't added it on there, it hasn't been unknowingly shared by others.

Forth of Melbourne " I have the phone numbers of people who haven't given them to me and who, in at least one case, I've never met face to face."..... Um, those phone numbers are of people who chose to have their mobile number listed on facebook as part of their profile. If even states this at the top of the contact page... Some people don't deserve a facebook if they don't know how to use it...

Anon Posted at 3:43 PM August 15, 2011
This article is wrong. I have a list of about 20 of these mobile phone numbers listed on my facebook, and my 10 year old mobile doesn't even have internet access. Furthermore, I didn't even have these people's mobile phone numbers - most of them are old school friends that I hardly keep in touch with. So there's clearly something going on. You are not the only one who can see them.

Brooke Posted at 3:41 PM August 15, 2011
That may be. But I never gave persmission for my phone to my synced in a way that would allow my contacts' numbers to end up on facebook. Digging a little into privacy, isn't it?

bob of Sydney Posted at 3:40 PM August 15, 2011
every time Facebook comes up with a feature it should be OPTIONAL and OPed out automatically NOT oped in without user being aware then the user to op out after the fact. Privacy is to be assumed to begin with. Such action by Facebook naturally raise questions about their intentions.

it is simple, if you are worried about privacy issues and concerns on facebook, dont join it.. people tend to make a big deal out of it when we can simplify it down to choice. you got a choice in everything you do on facebook in terms of privacy, including excluding people from visiting or viewing simply one photo or the whole album.
Comment 40 of 46
Forth of Melbourne Posted at 3:34 PM August 15, 2011
This simply isn't so. I have the phone numbers of people who haven't given them to me and who, in at least one case, I've never met face to face. Fortunately they weren't especially worried that I had their number but they were certainly surprised. So the idea that the phone numbers don't get propogated to other people is completely false

The numbers that were on my Facebook account were for people that I didn't have numbers for in the first place. Further, considering my general distrust of Facebook I have never authorised the 'back-up' of numbers in my phone onto their database (of the people whose number I actually had).

Fifth Third Bank secured credit card fee schedule
By CreditCards.com staff
|2011 Credit Card Fee Survey
A year after the Credit CARD Act's major provisions went into effect, predictions of an onslaught of fees haven't come true.
Applicants for these cards must deposit money into an account to secure their borrowing. When they use the secured card to make purchases, they are essentially borrowing and paying back their own money. Credit counselors advise secured card users to make small purchases and pay off the entire balance on time each month to avoid interest charges and to show they are good credit risks.
The survey of secured card offers was conducted in May 2011.
Here are the 2011 secured card fees for the Fifth Third Bank secured card:
|Fifth Third Bank
|Annual fee
|Application fee
|Minimum deposit
|Other fees, conditions
|Credit limit is equal to deposit ($300 - $5,000; once deposit is made credit line cannot be increased). No other fees. Reports to all 3 credit bureaus. Secured deposit is refunded by closing the account once the "hold" is lifted. Account is reviewed after 12 months and may be allowed to move to an unsecured card. Interest is paid (and varies by state) at 0.10%.

Only a few of the 365 days in each year are associated with extraordinary events, but for those who experienced the events, the dates arouse great emotion. For Koreans, August 15 commemorates the restoration of the country's independence after a Japanese occupation of 36 years. June 25 marks the outbreak of the Korean War. And for those of us who live in the U.S., September 11 will always be the day America was attacked.

Penn State's Bill O'Brien has agreed to an amended contract that will raise his pay by nearly $1 million for his second season as football coach, the university announced Thursday.
The changes in his contract include a boost in salary for the contract year beginning July 1 to $1,932,779, an increase of more than double his first-year base pay of $950,000. The university will pay $935,279 of that figure in one lump-sum payment within three days after "the execution and delivery of this contract."
Athletic director Dave Joyner said the new provisions in the contract were added to honor O'Brien's "tremendous job with all facets of the Penn State football program," one of which was an 8-4 record.

Marvell said it has acquired Spanish powerline chipmaker DS2.
DS2 was founded in 1998 and is headquartered in Valencia, Spain. It was a global supplier of Universal Powerline Association (UPA) compatible chipsets and developer of G.hn technology, which aims to combine, powerline, coaxial, and phoneline wiring within a single wired home network.
Marvell is following Atheros' lead in adding powerline networking into its technology portfolio. Atheros acquired HomePlug chipmaker Intellon last year.
Powerline networking has been most popular in non-U.S. markets, but has had a difficult time overcoming Wi-Fi's dominance as an Ethernet alternative in the U.S. Part of powerline's problem has been the competition between DS2's 200 Mbps powerline technology and Intellon's HomePlug.
While DS2 helped spur Intellon to get its 200 Mbps HomePlug AV technology to market, the two technologies were not interoperable and did not coexist well. Consumer networking companies then compounded the problem by not clearly identifying the technology used in their powerline products, leading to consumer confusion and bad product experiences.
Marvell said it will continue to sell DS2 products and support existing customers and develop and integrate DS2 core technology into its existing IP portfolio.
At the close of the acquisition, approximately 75 employees joined Marvell's worldwide development team. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

A lot of people seem to think that because nylon is an artificial material, it requires virtually no care and maintenance. Yes, nylon is a relatively low-maintenance artificial fiber, but to say that it will stay as good as new forever without proper care is totally incorrect. Removing stains from nylon as soon as they form is a major part of the maintenance routine. Keeping nylon clean is one thing, but trying to remove a week-old stain is quite another.
As we always say, make sure you mop up as much as you can of a spill before doing anything else. The longer the stain sits, the harder it will be to remove later. Once you mop up the excess spillage, blot the damp residue with paper towels or a clean, white, soft cloth. For many fresh stains such as food, drink, and bloodstains, you will find that it is possible to remove them simply by blotting the affected area with a soft white cloth dampened with lukewarm water.
Since you can't always take care of a stain immediately, we have listed what you can do for various kinds of stains that have been allowed to sit for some time. Finally, when buying a nylon carpet, find out whether it comes with a prepackaged stain removing kit.

text: Review Content IT WORKS!! Ive purchased several digital thermometers at various price points and most do not work or the transmission is no good beyond 25.I have this reveiver 50 away from the transmitter and get consistent readings.My only complaint with this thermometer would be the display is small. The receiver display is fine.The battery is easily accessible and doesnt sit below water level A good buy for pool enthusiasts Does the job! Perfect for a Lazy Pool Day Actually works amazingly well! Dont even need to leave your house to check your pool temperature! What will they think of next?! Quality product with a slight glitch Directions were wrong. One needs to hold down set button on both units for 8-10 seconds not just the receiving unit. Needs to be changed. Do not buy!!! I bought this product the 1st time. It lasted about 2 weeks before the temperature gauge in the pool got wet and stopped working. I sent it back and received another one, the same thing happened. Sharper Image was great about refunding my money which was wonderful. Dont waste your time on this product. It does not work!! Terrible If youlike getting used and broken eqipm,ent-then order from Sharper Image.After talking with them --"We apologize " and all that telephone talk, but still have to pay return freight --I woill never do busines with this company again Now I know the real temp in my pool Living in Az, a pool is not a luxury but almost a necessity. With this digital thermometer, I can check on the pool temperature just be reading the display inside my house. This will help me save money in the long run as I can use my heater more efficiently. A work in progress When we received this, one portion of the LCD temperature display on the top of transmitter (which floats in the pool) was not working so we were unable to see the entire number. Even though I knew I was going to exchange it, I put batteries in both the transmitter and the base unit to see how well they worked. Initially everything went well. I love the concept. Next morning, the signal was dropped and we found out that the transmitter had taken on water and appeared to be damaged. We are now hoping the replacement fares better. So far so good! So far so good on this pool Thermometer. Digital Wireless Pool Termometer We use it in our pool Great thermometer I purchase a different thermometer from another seller for more money and it fell apart after the first year! The old one deteriorated from the chemicals in the pool and the sunlight. This one is said to not succumb to chemicals and is UV resistant. Time will tell, but so far so good. Perfect so far Works as advertised so far. Hope it makes it through the season and beyond Pool thermometer Bought to replace a unit from a bug box store that constantly breaks. Hopefully this unit will be better Poor Quality Quality of product must have gone downhill since last year. I read reviews and thought I was getting a quality product. I have now ordered two and both suck from a receiver display perspective. I have tried new batteries even place the received 15 ft from transmitter and stil problems. I will NOT order another one from Sharper Image or one manufactured through GAME. Spa temp monitor The wireless temperature monitor was easy to set up and use. It is very accurate, and I can read the water temperature of my spa from inside my house in any weather. Great product!! Outstanding Product This unit actually works as described and provides very accurate temperature readings. The remote display is easy to read, especially with the backlight feature. Great concept This product saves me a lot of time checking the temp of my pool...I have a pool heater and it tells me when I need shut down or heat up. Excellent Product Would recommend to anyone Just perfect Works great! As the weather warms we check the readout several times a day. Happy to see the temps going up! No need to dip my toes into cold water anymore! Stopped working after a week or two. Save your money. After the first one of these I got stopped working after 7-10 days, I returned it for a replacement, which lasted for all of 2 weeks before it quit. I followed the instructions to the letter and wasnt responsible for its not working. Both times they were very nice and issued me a postage free return label, but I wouldve preferred a product that worked. Wonderful thermometer Thermometer was able to sync as soon as batteries were put in. No additional manipulation required. That was wonderful! Thermometer works well. Readout is inside the house. Everything works exactly as promised in the packaging. Great Product we werent expecting this to be as great as it is! It is very efficient and so easy to use. We hope it lasts through our tough desert season...time will tell! Pool Thermometer that Works Other digital pool thermometers that I have tried failed right away. Most leaked; some just couldnt hack the environment where they were supposedly designed to work. So Far So Good Its a little early to review this product. I have only had it a week. It was easy to set up and is working well now. Lets see in a month or so. At your fingertips This was a gift and my friends love it. Now they can see the temperature of their pool at a glance without walking outside to pull a thermometer out of their pool to see the water temperature. Useful and Handy Wireless Pool and Spa Thermometer I was looking for a new and useful pool thermometer and was pleased to find the one I purchased which has a unit to keep in the house which keeps track of the pool temperature reading without having to go outside and look directly at the thermometer. I have been pleased with the accuracy and ease of use. Look forward to seeing how it operates over time. Poor quality It quit working within two weeks - not sealed well. Return after 2 days digital display not waterproof return after two days very happy so far every hot tub thermometer Ive ever had fill with water .so far this one is sturdy an I love the indoor guage. Moisture in unit after 1st use Moisture was in the transmitter and the "fog" made it hard to see the digital display. It went in the pool July 1. It quit yesterday, July 7. Miserable performance. Simple To get it going, just follow the simple instructions. You need to add about 6 AA batteries. Works immediately Digital Wireless pool Themomerter At first appearance the thermometer appears to work well. I received it only two weeks ago and placed in pool the same day. Although I have not had ample time to truly review this item I have notice some of the good features and one less active feature. The length does prevent it from entering the skimmer however the digital display in the house has a poor display when not located directly at eye level. Mounting it at eye level allows you read the display however placing below eye distorts the readout. works great simple to use, easy set-up Stopped working after a week or two Looks good, seemed to work fine, transmitted OK, no problems. But then after a week or two it stopped working. Investigation showed what looked like a little water inside the display on the transmitter unit. (All fittings were snug - this was not user error!) I opened the battery compartment (did I mention it was snugly sealed?), which is the only opening it has, and am now hoping it will dry out and start working again. If not, Im going to return it for a replacement or refund. If I get satisfaction, Ill update my review. Nice thermometer Just ordered and quickly received this product. Only have it about a week or so, but so far so good. Took seconds to "install". It so nice to know the pool temp from inside. Especially when I had the heater on to get it ready. pool temp sensor Definite improvement over old unit....obviously dont know how it will perform over a period of time but so far so good I like it make it nice not having to go out to the pool Can see it inside Easy pool temp monitoring Makes pool temp monitoring easy. Failed after 2 weeks Great idea. Something we really enjoyed, but pool unit failed after two weeks. No battery problem, but no transmission or local indication. Received as a gift. Will try to return for another unit and try again. I would buy this product again It was very easy to set up and start using. Works great. A good producut Concerned that by the end of the summer will chlorine make it hard to read?. Pool temperature on site In the pool or in the house, you always know what the temp is Grerat Product Installed the batteries, dropped the sensor into the pool and placed the readout display on nearby table on the lanai. How simple is that. Price was very reasonable and the product worked exactly as described. Sharper Image has another home run. Digital Wireless Pool and Spa Thermometer First product only lasted 1 week but Sharper Image quickly got me a replacement and it has been working well since. It occassionally losing signal but for the most part I am happy with the product. No More Squatting!!! As I get older the knees dont always work as well as they used to and no one wants to go into a cold pool. Now I look at the pool water temperature inside the house and I know if it is time to swim or not! Awesome product! FINALLY... one that works (so far) ive tried two other brands, one of which i had two of them. this one is easy to set up (a 1st grader could do it). most important water hasnt leaked into the battery compartment. the simple single screw out battery cover with o-ring should seal out the elements (only time will tell). the competitors units literally require disassembling the unit with 6 or so screws with a gasket that wont give a good seal. i even tried using silicone in hopes that would work. i finally began using as an indoor/outdoor thermometer under an roofline so it wouldnt get wet. as for now, I LOVE THIS UNIT and the remote (distance from transmitter) is greatly improved over all the others! i would definitely buy this one again (thus far....only a week into the season, the reason in title for "so far". Easy to install The product is used in our home pool. the additional display is in our kitchen. There is no guessing as to the temperature of the water.It is great.
