Facebook Privacy Breach

Facebook, one of the web’s leading social networking websites has compromised private data.

Private data from thousands of users has been released despite the privacy settings on some profiles. It appears that anyone can access any data stored on the notes application, regardless of its privacy setting. This data is now easily accessible, as major search engines such as Google have already indexed the data.

Once again the security of social networking has come into question. Is it really safe to trust a company with information that details almost every aspect of our lives? Facebook has yet to comment on the latest data breach.
