One bug makes it visible to all Facebook photos by Mark Zuckerberg

A bug in the platform that runs the popular social network created by Mark Zuckerberg has caused many troubles to the already not too fortunate management of user privacy. Because of the bug, in fact, the pictures "private" users have become freely accessible to the "no friends".

The bug was discovered by chance by a user, using the new feature for reporting inappropriate content, noted that using the option "to select additional photos" it was possible to access any photos posted on Facebook regardless of whether the his condition was "private" rather than "public".

To make it even tastier the news, there's the fact that among the "victims" of the bug will be the same Zuckerberg, whose photos were made public to the world. None of them obscene scandalous, for heaven's sake, but the very fact that the young billionaire has fallen victim of his own creation was enough to trigger the attention of the media.

Engineers at Facebook, of course, they immediately proceeded to disable the new feature because of what it will be that again put on-line only when the problems will be solved permanently.
