A marketing stunt for the upcoming Ubisoft game "Watch Dogs" is inadvertently allowing users to check how well they've set up their Facebook privacy settings.
Some potential passwords http://www.reddit.com/r/cheatsarena/related/2npr8k/say_yes_deer_hunter_2014_tool_deer_hunter_2014/ possible passwords that could http://www.reddit.com/r/cheatsarena/related/2nphlm/bomb_family_guy_quest_for_stuff_hack_tool_2014/ a potentially hostile enemy, and it called AdWeek writer Kristina Monllos one who possesses "a bleak outlook that could be manipulated for future gain." wink

A breakdown of when I'm most active on Facebook.
