Facebook has fixed a bug that allowed the viewing of some private photographs of other members and which was reportedly used to access personal pictures of founder Mark Zuckerberg. The bug involved Facebook's system of reporting inappropriate images on the social network.
By reporting a member's profile picture as inappropriate a user was asked whether they had other photographs to report, providing access to other private pictures.
The glitch was first revealed in a bodybuilding forum at bodybuilding.com.
In its statement about the photo bug, Facebook said "the privacy of our user's data is a top priority for us, and we invest significant resources in protecting our site and the people who use it."
