Facebook Bug exposes users private photos.

Byron Ng, Vancouver, Canada computer technician, found a loop hole on Monday which exposed Facebook users private photos for anyone to view.  This is a bit ironic considering Facebook last week upgraded their privacy settings for users.  All Facebook users, including Mark Zuckerberg, were subject to this invasion of privacy.  While the breach was not significant, it did display the risk that Facebook faces when it comes to protecting user privacy, especially with rumors of a payment system in the works.  Facebook provides little security for its users’ photos. With a unique URL, anyone can see a users photos whether, whether they’re marked private or not.  Perhaps Mark Zuckerberg may want to rethink that since his photos were leaked.
