Facebook Security Glitch Gives User Administrative Access to Large Brand Pages

This afternoon Tom Krieglstein sent me a video of an interesting glitch that took place to him which gave him administrative access to a number of large brand pages including Star Wars, American Airlines, Delta Airlines, and a number of others. He also was able to send out updates to the Stars Wars page (aka “public profile”) which has over 800,000 fans currently.

Thankfully updates aren’t read by users anymore so it probably wouldn’t make a big difference to send an update out even it was to millions of users.
