Facebook has filed lawsuits against a UK-based app developer for illegally harvesting the data of its users and another developer in the US for operating a fake engagement service on Instagram.

MobiBurn did not compromise Facebook, instead, they used the malicious SDK on the users’ devices to collect information. In a separate case, Facebook sued Nikolay Holper for using a network of bots to distribute fake likes, comments, views, and followers on Instagram.
