Facebook创始人的隐私照片也能偷偷查看
在社群网站里为保护用户隐私，会让用户对某些内容进行选择是“公开（public）”还是“隐私（private）”，或者“只对朋友（only friend）”。Face*book也不例外。但是今天早些时候美联社的一篇报道却让Face*book丢了脸。温哥华的一位计算机技师Byron Ng发现了一项重大安全漏洞，他找到一种方法，可以进入用户的限制内容和隐私内容，并且能够导出图片。
Ng把这一发现报料给了美联社记者，并得到了证实。Ng曾经进入facebook创始人Zuckerberg于2005年11月创建的帐户。他还曾进入女歌星Paris Hilton的帐户，看到了她置于隐私状态的艾美奖颁奖照片，还有他的哥哥和朋友一块喝啤酒的照片。
经过美联社的报道，今天下午facebook已经修补了这一安全漏洞。此类问题也曾在myspace上发生过。对于放在社群网站上的隐私文件还是要小心一些。
