Uh oh: That “10 concerts” Facebook trend could be compromising your online security

Looks like your friends’ taste in music isn’t the only thing that’s questionable about this week’s trending “10 concerts” Facebook meme. Just when you thought you thought you’d gained 

control over the internet and its nefarious ways by practicing good self-care online and avoiding anything hashtagged MAGA, “10 Concerts I’ve Been To, One Is A Lie” sang a sirens’ song and lulled you into trusting the worldwide web again. But according to privacy experts, the game may have played you by posing a threat to your online security.
The rules are simple enough: Facebook users share 10 concerts, nine of which they’ve actually seen and one they have not, in their status update. Then, friends attempt to identify the lie by replying in the comments, trying to one up each other in the musical version of the classic game, “Who’s the better friend?”.
