Major Security Flaw in Facebook

Earlier today, TechChrunch published an article, revealing one of the worst security flaws in Facebook’s history. This little loop hole in security made it possible for anyone to read their friends chats, and supposedly also look at their messages. In other words, if you (for some strange reason) though that you had any privacy what so ever on Facebook, then think again.

Facebook seem to be on the case now however as their chat function is disabled, and the privacy settings seem to have been fixed as well. But if anyone has been treating you differently the last few days, or seems to know a bit “too much”, then this could be the reason why. :-)

Below is a video from TechCrunch showing exactly how the loop hole could be exploited:

That’s all for now!
