Security lapse exposes Facebook photos

Check out this article on Cnn that describes the recent privacy breach that caught Facebook with there pants down.  A security lapse allowed strangers to access photos of Facebook member and their friends, even if the privacy settings were set to restrict who could see the photos.

With over 67 million active users, Facebook will always be suspect to hackers looking for a way to circumvent its user privacy.  For reasons beyond my comprehension, our generation of Internet users have little trepidation about what information we place in the hands of others.   When Facebook made the decision to open ups its platform they put upon them self a huge risk that someday the breach will be very serious.   Privacy is not a setting, but a caution we should all take before we choose to upload a private photo or other personal information to the 5th most-trafficked website in the world .
