Facebook has sued 2 Ukrainian men- Gleb Sluchevsky & Andrey Gorbachov, for allegedly using quiz apps to obtain users personal details & instill ads into their newsfeed. They operated 4 web apps mostly targeting Russian & Ukranian users. These hackers scoured public profile info & non-publicly viewable friend's list, in addition to serving their own ads without official approval. Fb accuses them of violations & fraud.
