Paris Hilton and Mark Zuckerberg Private Photos Accessed on Facebook


Associated Press reported that Byron Ng, a Vancouver computer technician has found a security weakness that allowed him to see private photos on Facebook, after a recent upgrade to the websites privacy controls.


Byron Ng was able to pull private photos of Paris Hilton at the Emmy awards and of her brother Nicholas drinking a beer with friends. Associated Press verified the tip and looked at random people private profiles. They also clicked through a personal photo album of the Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg that was posted in November 2005.


After being alerted Facebook has fixed the security hole, so until the next bug is found your pictures are safe.
