Facebook has struck to a security flaw, which allowed the users to listen to their friends chats and also see their pending friend’s request. This helped in exposing the user’s security and also that was just a click away when the user was able to see his/her friend’s personal chat messages and see who had requested to join their network. It was also reported that Facebook temporarily removed the chat facility, while they fixed this security flaw.
It was also noted that this error was only for a limited period and did not stayed for more time. This happened because the bug temporarily allowed the users to easily see their friend’s messages and pending friend requests to be made available to the friends.
This has been the first time that there is any such type of security fault for any organization. As this is always a threat for any organization that there is a security breach and others can see to their work from own profile.
Thanks to the Facebook that they reacted very quickly and fixed the problem as soon as possible, otherwise there would have been the gamble for the users as well.
