In theory, possibly, but the thing to remember is this SDK isn't even in beta, it's a very early version, and I would imagine security to try and prevent that might be built in. That said, what they're trying to do in opening up these APIs automatically opens questions about what can be done with the user's log on information. And when it all comes down to it, the best way to make sure you don't fall victim is not use it if you suspect it might be fraudulent.
