Facebook patches Security Loophole
By webmaster | March 25, 2008
Facebook is one of the leading social community site which allows users to connect with others, share their favorites and photos.
Recently a Vancouver based computer programmer - Byron Ng, found a loophole in facebook website which allows others to view pictures that have been posted recently for private use. The AP (Associated Press) confirmed the existence of loophole after a reporter was able to view random pictures posted in private profiles, thru Ng’s template.
However Facebook was successfully able to apply a patch to this security breach thru the help of a company based in Palo Alto (California) according to Facebook’s spokeswoman “Brandee Barker”. She also said that Facebook cares for its user’s privacy and they would take every possible step to ensure the security of users.
Despite the risks, the facebook community seems to be growing as well as the posting of pictures as social community sites are getting popular day by day in the teenage world.
