Facebook got Hacked!!

Yap you heard it right. Facebook has been hacked, with a technician managing to exploit a recent security update and view private pictures of people such as Paris Hilton and Mark Zuckerberg.

After Facebook introduced new options and a new privacy interface on 19 March, Canadian technician Byron Ng managed to exploit security holes and access private details.
Normally it is not possible for users to view photos and details which the owner does not give permission for them to access. With his computer expertise, Ng managed to breach security barriers to do this until Facebook installed a bug fix to prevent it from happening.

"The recent Facebook breach highlights how the social networking world is still evolving and continues to harbour a host of potential threats to personal and sensitive information,"
"And it's not new - this exploit mirrored MySpace's breach in January. Users accessing social networking sites from work leave their organization vulnerable to hackers."

So Facebook users beware of your personal stuff. Nothing is safe on the internet.
