20% Of Facebook Employees Focused On Security Issues

Facebook’s employee numbers have been growing rapidly and it has been revealed that a significant portion of those employees are working on security issues. With over 400M users and a rich amount of information and access to computers, the draw for hackers is obvious, and the site will need the staff to fight back.

Even if security problems initially only affect a small number of users, the viral-platform nature of Facebook means that security threats could very well spread, and quickly.
