Facebook privacy

The security on Facebook is quite embarrassing when you think about it considering people were able to view other people’s personal photos that they posted on Facebook user profile pages, completely circumventing the recent upgrade to the site’s privacy controls.

Facebook should never have a security lapse because people go to this social networking place for peace of mind when on their, this is bad really considering they have only just beefed up their privacy options.

This was all discovered by a Canadian computer technician called Byron Ng, and it was verified by the Associated Press. This loophole allowed Ng to look at private photos of Paris Hilton which is bad really because I guessed she thought it would be private.

A Facebook spokesperson has said that this bug has now been fixed after only an hour of them being alerted.
