News: Facebook Private Photos
When I checked TechMeme this morning (yesterday evening was rather busy), I discovered a reminder that even a large site like Facebook is susceptible to the sort of query string problems I’ve discussed previously. Kudos to those who found the hole, and to Facebook for apparently fixing it quickly once it received wide attention.
A commenter on ReadWriteWeb, however, pointed out that the hack appeared even before this month – though I’m not positive this is the same hack that the AP referenced. Either way, this news story serves as another reminder for developers to check their query string inputs.
