    Do not keep anything that much personal in your facebook account. In online, nothing is safe.

    Hmm! Pretty concerning; Zuckerberg should walk the talk.

    "The message contained a search string that, when used on Google, returned a list of links to 1.32 million Facebook accounts.

    In some cases clicking on a link logged in to that account without the need for a password. All the links exposed the email addresses of Facebook users."

    This is really bad. This is why I advise people against keeping personal and sensitive stuffs online.

    Facebook is a public domain. Why will I want to post sensitive information there. Like you all pointed out, it is not safe. Honestly, I don't even have a photo of myself there. Yeah, I do go there to kill timer but nothing more.

    Thats just one of the reasons I hate sites that require members to use the Facebook login/authorization.
