Christina Warren over at mashable.com warns us of a rogue Facebook application that has the potential to trick you into handing over your Facebook profile access.

According to the online security firm Sophos:

[The rogue application's video link] redirects users to a Facebook Page that then prompts users to allow an application called “Teacher nearly kills 13 year old boy. SHOCKING!” access their profile information and permission to post on their wall.

As of this writing it is unknown if Facebook has taken it upon themselves to shut down access to this application, but if you are one of the many that has loaded it, remove the app from your profile and double-check your account’s security settings to insure that your profile adheres to the privacy policies that you wish to maintain.
