Facebook Security Flaw Fixed… But, Change Your Passwords!

Man! The security issues just aren’t letting up this week!

Facebook may have leaked personal info on millions

“For years, an accidental security flaw in the way Facebook handled embedded frames allowed applications developers to access information on a user’s profile that installed that application. It is estimated that nearly 100,000 applications may have enabled this flaw, potentially affecting millions.

Symantec, the company that discovered the vulnerability, reported it to Facebook. The flaw has been fixed, but it is unknown if any of the data had been used maliciously. With 500 million active users, the flaw has the potential to be much larger than the PlayStation Network breach, which has 77 million users. There is a caveat though: the user would have needed to have installed one of the vulnerable applications in order to be at risk.”

A tweet I got earlier this evening from Leo Laporte advises us to change our FB passwords… I did… so should you!
