Bug briefly leads sites with Facebook login and plugins to render error message

A bug temporarily led all third-party websites that use Facebook login or social plugins to redirect users to Facebook.com where an error message displayed earlier today.

A spokesperson for the social network said in a statement:

“For a short period of time, there was a bug that redirected people logging in with Facebook from third-party sites to Facebook.com. The issue was quickly resolved, and Login with Facebook is now working as usual.”

 The issue lasted about 30 minutes or less, according to what we can gather from when users tweeted about the problem.
