Facebook security glitch over photos

Social networking website Facebook promised this week it would work to fix a security flaw that let people view other users’ private photos, including those of chief executive Mark Zuckerberg. The bug enabled anyone to view a “limited number” of recently uploaded photos, regardless of a person’s privacy settings, the company said. Facebook shut the affected system after becoming aware of the bug and will restore it after the glitch is fixed.

“The privacy of our users’ data is a top priority for us,” the company said in a statement. – (Bloomberg)
