This Creepy App Isn't Just Stalking Women Without Their Knowledge,
It's A Wake-Up Call About Facebook Privacy

http://j.mp/H4cz6W  (Cult of Mac)

     "Wait what? Are these girls prostitutes?" one of my friends asked, which given the Matrix-like silhouettes posing on the splash screen was a pretty good question.
     "Oh, no," I replied. "These are just regular girls. See this girl? Her name's Zoe. She lives on the same street as me and Brittany. She works at a coffee shop, and I'm pretty sure she doesn't moonlight picking up tricks."
     "How does it know where these girls are? Do you know all these girls?
     Is it plucking data from your address book or something?" another
     friend asked.
