Facebook Security Terms Change Removes Risk for Those Who Report Problems

With the removal last week of a single phrase in its policy around reporting security issue, Facebook has made it easier for “white hat” security experts to help it find vulnerabilities.

The policy, below, no longer contains this line: “and have not conducted research that would violate the terms of our Statement of Rights and Responsibilities.” It now reads:

We encourage security researchers who identify security problems to embrace the practice of notifying website security teams of problems and giving them time to fix the problems before making any information public.
