Facebook: Please fix this security loophole before its too late

The issue has now been checked &amp; confirmed by Guardian - <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theguardian.com&#x2F;technology&#x2F;2015&#x2F;aug&#x2F;09&#x2F;facebook-privacy-settings-users-mobile-phone-number" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theguardian.com&#x2F;technology&#x2F;2015&#x2F;aug&#x2F;09&#x2F;facebook-p...</a>

Isn&#x27;t a search (or querying of data) analogous to this one which landed weev in prison?<p>1) Generate list of possibly valid numbers 2) Query service to determine something 3) Get prosecuted 4) Go to jail<p>Just wondering...

That&#x27;s a regular feature &#x2F; intended behaviour of the FB search. It&#x27;s quite useful to be able to search for people by their email address or phone number IMHO.
