Should the title be updated to reflect that this is 2+ months old? After all, the fix was put in place in a couple of hours. This isn't a current bug, but rather, an excellent post-mortem, but the title suggests present tense.

How much did you get for this bug via their bug bounty program?

I'm surprised that it took this long to discover this.I wonder how many this type of exploits are still out there.

I don't like Facebook but I have to give them credit for addressing this so quickly.

That's a pretty amateur mistake for a such an enormous company. Made respect for FB, but c'mon, how'd this slip through? This was a very trivial exploit.

You can read about all kinds of bugs and &quot;bugs&quot; I found in bounty programs on my old blog, too <a href="http://josipfranjkovic.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;josipfranjkovic.blogspot.com&#x2F;</a>

Interestingly several of my wife&#x27;s hotmail using Facebook friends accounts appeared to have been owned last night. Has someone found a new similar exploit?

Something I don&#x27;t get, why is a hotmail account a pre-requisite? Wouldn&#x27;t this work with any other email account?

Are there researchers out there testing whether facebook regresses security fixes?<p>Or would the effort not procure enough reward?

Did anyone else notice that the site and social networking properties were all put up at the same time as the post (roughly)? Good tactic for starting a business.
