Facebook Flaw Exposed Private Photos

Velcroman1 writes "A security hole in Facebook allowed almost anyone to see pictures marked as private, an online forum revealed late Monday. Even pictures supposedly kept hidden from uninvited eyes by Facebook's privacy controls aren't safe, reported one user of a popular bodybuilding forum in a post entitled 'I teach you how to view private Facebook photos.' Facebook appears to have acted quickly to eliminate the end-run around privacy controls, after word of the exploit spread across the Internet. It wasn't long before one online miscreant uploaded private pictures of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg himself — evidence that the hack worked, he said."

karma police, ban this man his blatant troll posts, are making me feel ill he's like a first post goatse.

First they came for Michael Kristopeit, but I didn't speak up since I wasn't Michael Kristopeit. Then they came for Michael Kristopeit 2 and 3 and on and on, until, one day, they came for Michael Kristopeit 412, but I didn't speak up, since I wasn't any of those. Then they came for the muslims and the communists and other uncool people, then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak up for me.
