Thread: Facebook’s Greater Privacy Problems – Zuckerberg’s Locked Pics Visible

Recently, a third party gained access to Mark’s personal locked picture gallery, a Facebook flaw that revealed itself to the embarrassment of the founder. A group of users disclosed the flaw along with a number of images pulled from the locked photo gallery of Zuckerberg. This is a flaw which allowed a third party to view a user's locked and private images while reporting a public image as objectionable or offensive. Facebook has reported that it has fixed it.

The incident is far from the first occasion in which Facebook's privacy protections have been called into question. The company has a long history of embarrassing breaches and user revolts over its inability to properly manage and protect the personal data of its customers.

It would be smart of Facebook to hire some people that have a strong security-focused mindset to do QA of their tools. It is not a reflection on their ability to write good applications, it is a failure of the imagination of whoever tested this feature.

Big Deal...some photos with Mark Zuckerberg and some friends..
Even though, I hope facebook will solve this security issues asap.

Makes me wonder how safe even the little people's photos are if his photos aren't safe.

The problem with the private safety it is one of the reasons that many people don’t have Facebook or they deleted their accounts

Hi,
Facebook's security issues are consistently the part of concern for the internet users. Hackers always find their way to hack the account, but I think they will get some solution to the problem.
