Facebook Bug Reveals Private Photos to the Public

According to the report, the issue was discovered by Byron Ng, a Canadian computer technician, who posted code on his blog in January that he said allowed people to access private Facebook photos. He posted updated code again in late February. “It does not let you view all their pictures, but only the last album in which they tagged themselves in,” he wrote.
