Facebook is actually one of the prefered social networks for postimg photos, finding old friend etc...
BBC had found out how to steal personal details of facebook's members. Apprentely members' identity on facebook such as name, age, adress, school, pictures, telephone numbers etc...is at risk.
Facebook is really popular because users can add applications on their profile and those applications more often about games quiz etc allow members to keep in touch and to challenge. So now bbc sign up on facebook and created an application, able to steal personal details, which they send to some members.
According to BBC it was impossible to put that application on my space because their security system is better handle compared to its competitors.
Personal view
I am a user of facebook and it never came to my mind that fecoob was insecured. Knowing that some people can easily have my details just freaks me out. Imagine someone taking your pictures with your name and doing funny videos of you...wow i will not appreciate it at all
I hope facebook will sort out that problem and get back to a trustworthy website.
Here is facebook response to BBC investigation
