Facebook patches private photo exploit
Add this to the list of things we think probably shouldn't be downloaded: your private Facebook photos. Earlier this week, Facebook patched an exploit discovered by the Associated Press. Reporters were apparently even able to gain access to Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg's 2005 vacation photos. Although this particular hack, which was reportedly done by making a slight change to the URL, is now fixed, the lesson is not to assume that the privacy settings on sites like Facebook and MySpace will totally protect your photos. The good news is that Zuckerberg has said in interviews that privacy is going to be Facebook's major focus as social network data becomes more portable, and additional privacy settings were introduced last week. In spite of all that hard work, though, this incident suggests Facebook still has a lot of work to do.

Websites have holes in their coding. Shocking.
