Facebook Connect Exposes Hulu User Data

Posted by samzenpus on from the eyes-on-your-own-account dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Over the weekend, Hulu rolled out Facebook Connect integration. Almost immediately after launch, Hulu had to pull the feature as the company discovered a technical issue affecting a limited number of users. More specifically, some users weren't seeing their own Hulu account information upon login, but someone else's."
