Facebook (Briefly) Hijacks Millions of Web Sites

[Ink]

For a brief period of time on Thursday night, web users were redirected to Facebook from every single page on the Internet that allows you to access it via Facebook. That’s right: from CNN readers to Hulu watchers, users of just about every high-profile website were taken to a Facebook error page instead of the site they were looking for.

In their typically short and terse way, Facebook released a statement about the incident, telling Mashable that “For a short period of time, there was a bug that redirected people logging in with Facebook from third party sites. The issue was quickly resolved and Login with Facebook is now working as usual.”

I did talk to some buddies about it and they said that they were redirected to Facebook error page when visiting certain websites last night

I voted no as it is hard to redirect to me to facebook for which I cannot convince myself to use

i wasn`t redirected probably because i use traffic light and ghostery and the facebook buttons are blocked by default
