“Facebook could not say how many peoples’ private pictures had been viewed as a result of the flaw – and it appears that all users of the social network were able to exploit it.”
“The flaw appears to have existed in Facebook since an update to its system in mid-November and lets users view others’ private photos by first reporting their profile picture as “pornographic”.”
“Once a profile picture was reported as supposedly pornographic, Facebook’s reporting system would then give them the opportunity to view the user’s other pictures – including, due to the error, private ones. The theory was that other pictures could be reported to Facebook too.”
