Source: Facebook Notifies Users About Bug That Exposed Private Information – 6,000,000 Affected!

Yesterday, Facebook Security posted a note about a recent bug that was discovered by their White Hat program that could have compromised the contact information of up to 6,000,000 users.

According to the note, “a bug that may have allowed some of a person’s contact information (email or phone number) to be accessed by people who either had some contact information about that person or some connection to them.”

Facebook went on to say that describing how the bug worked was pretty technical but it’s related to the contact list / address book upload feature on the platform. Facebook basically made a boo boo on matching up personal data and connections.
