A recently discovered flaw in Facebook’s abuse reporting tool
allowed anyone to access private photographs of other users,
including Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. Until it was fixed
today, the reporting tool allowed anyone who reported a public
photograph’s owner to also peruse that user’s images, both public
and private. After members of a bodybuilding forum
discovered the security hole, they proceeded to target Zuckerberg’s
account and publish a number of
his private photographs online. This comes a week after the
FTC slapped Facebook’s wrist over deceptive privacy
practices.
