Facebook Security Flaw

I really don't like Facebook. Its got a whole heap of spam programs that I find irritating to say the least. Plenty of annoying bells and whistles. But everyone is on the mother.

Anyway turns out that Facebook had a big security flaw which will enable hackers to access your system and do nasty things to you.

Facebook however is taking its time fixing the security gap. 4 months and counting.

Yet another reason not to logon Facebook I think.

Just about everything has these flaws if you looks hard enough.

I'm not surprised and maybe to fix the flaw there is a whole rewrite going on behind the scenes. it takes a long time to do proper development and testing of code prior to release.
