The bug which was discovered by members of the href="http://forum.bodybuilding.com/">Bodybuilding.com forums allowed users to view photos which had been set to “private” via Facebook’s own abuse reporting tool. Despite the bug being identified and fixed, there is still a chance that many Facebook users have had their private photos seen by other Facebook users.

Here’s a quick run-down of the process involved before the fix:

1. The Facebook member clicks the “Report” button on any profile that is not their own.
2. They choose “Inappropriate Profile Photo” before clicking “Continue“.
3. If the user checks “Nudity/Pornography”  and proceeds, then they are invited to choose additional offending images.
4. Facebook displays a selection of other photos – potentially including those set to “private” – that the user may choose to report as well.

Facebook claimed only a limited number of profiles were affected, though has refused to provide any numbers. According to a Facebook spokesperson, the issue arose in “one of our most recent code pushes” and has not been exploitable for very long.

Patch your Start Orb in Windows 7 In previous versions of Windows the Start Orb was included with the Theme you where using. But now in Windows 7 the Start Orb is grouped in with the Explorer.exe System File. In this video, I’ll show you how to patch it, and use a different Start Orb. To revert back, change the new Explorer.exe to Explorer.new, then change the old back to Explorer.exe, then open up Task Manager, end Explorer.exe, then run it again. 2befine.deviantart.com www.angusj.com Remember to comment, rate and subscribe
