SpeedDate Hijacks Facebook Users With A Bait And Switch

SpeedDate , the online dating site that throws singles in a series of rapid dating sessions, has hijacked over 500,000 users from at least three Facebook applications. Users are logging on to Facebook to find that the applications they've had installed for months have been replaced with SpeedDate without any kind of opt-in message. As far as we can tell, all three modified applications were developed by HappyAppy, so it's likely that SpeedDate either acquired the company with the $6 million it raised last month or the two companies share the same development team.
