Stay Away From “Temple Run Multiplayer” Invites on Facebook

Jun 3rd, 20128 Comments

Did you recently receive any game/app invites from your friends for something called “Temple Run Multiplayer” during the past week or so? I logged into my Facebook account to find not one, not two, but nine of these requests. Many others received a lot more.

Temple Run Requests

Temple Run Multiplayer?

Accepting the invites will bring you to the “game” page, which has nothing but a Temple Run image, a play button, and a high score button. Clicking the Play button (or somewhere near the bottom) brings up a standard Facebook login window.

Facebook Login

Login to Temple Run Multiplayer

Logging in with Facebook would appear to do absolutely nothing, but the hidden script (in an iframe) would then proceed to randomly invite some of your friends.

At this time, this doesn’t appear to do anything dangerous besides spam and annoy your friends. Spam is quite common on Facebook and this one, like other useless spam apps, takes advantage by promising a feature to a popular application.

Have you received invites for Temple Run Multiplayer or something similar? Be sure to report the app to Facebook by clicking the link in the footer.

      Hello. There is no Facebook version of Temple Run at this time and there is no such thing as Temple Run Multiplayer. This app was just to spam people.

      What do you mean “any other Facebook App Script”?

      This particular app didn’t do anything harmful besides spam your friends, but if you believe you were hacked, change your password immediately.

      You can check for active logins at (Account Settings > Security > Active Sessions): https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=security This page will let you end other login sessions.

      Check for suspicious applications here: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=applications Remove any app you don’t use anymore or apps you don’t recognize.

          Go to https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=applications and remove any suspicious apps.

          If your friend receives a message via a wall post, check the “via APP NAME” for that post. If it doesn’t say anything, then it wasn’t an app that posted it.

          https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=security
          End all Active Login Sessions (last option on this page).

          And change your password immediately. If you’re still able to access your account, then following these steps should fix your account.
