It has been well over a week since Slide Top Friends  Facebook Widget-App got removed by Facebook because a Hacker used a bug within it that allowed him to  access pretty much all the common profile details of anyone using the widget (one case at time, don`t fret) . as with any security breach Facebook tracks for script abnormal behavior in periods of 24hrs so it is guessed that the breach may have been there for only 24hrs (a little more , a little less, that is unknown) .

Slide claims to had resolved the issue  very fast after they were noted of the breach. that didn`t mattered because Facebook took its time to test and re-evaluate Top Friends before re-enable it for all.

But that is not the only interesting part of this. what i want to know is how this affected the Widget-app numbers and how it benefited RockYou because of that.

But i guess that is a job for someone like Nick O`Neil to figure out. so please nick, you know you want to know too.
