New Facebook blog: We can hack into your profile

Well, here's an innovative way to get some buzz: FBHive, a new blog devoted to the discussion of all things Facebook, has debuted with the revelation that its creators have discovered a hack that can expose some crucial profile data.

No, it won't expose your personal photos or wall posts. But, FBHive says, it can bring up all the "basic information" that you have entered into your profile, even if you've elected to keep that information private. This is the section that includes location, gender, relationship status, relationships (significant other, parents, siblings), political views, religious views, birthday, and hometown. That's enough to be a problem in the identity theft department, as it could easily expose frequent password hints like dates of birth and mothers' maiden names.

Security holes are nothing new to social networks: last year, Facebook plugged a leak that exposed members' protected photos via the Facebook mobile site, and another hole was discovered about a year ago that exposed members' birth dates.

Admirably, FBHive has not shared the details of the newly discovered hack; more disconcertingly, it said Facebook has done nothing since it alerted the social network to the issue earlier this month.

"We are not malicious hackers, by any means, and our skills are far from advanced," the post read. "We here at FBHive are fans of Facebook, but when a security hole as big as this is discovered and brought to (Facebook's) attention, it shouldn't take 15 days to fix."

A Facebook representative said the company is currently "looking into" the matter and will have more information soon.

UPDATE at 11:14 a.m. PT: "We have identified this bug and closed the loophole," an e-mailed statement from Facebook read. "We don't have any evidence to suggest that it was ever exploited for malicious purposes."

15 days isn't that long when you're talking about finding, fixing, and testing code.

It is for as large a site as fb and an apparently simple hack that you're notified of.

Or you can not even post personal data you don't want anyone to see. Facebook doesn't require you to enter all the data you're presented, such as birthday, location, political views, religious views, and your hometown.

iff2mastamatt, you are not required to use Facebook, too. LOL!

Something is seriously wrong with facebook support and technical team. It took 2 months and a post on TechCrunch to get them working on the Click Fraud issue. And now this. Not good.

[clamenza]

They've got a captive user base so they don't care. (I know a lot of people talk about how "fickle" social networking users are but I don't think so. You can't just move to another system until there's a critical mass, which myspace has now found it never actually had.)

And let's make sure we sell part interest in Facebook to the Russian Mafia, who will eventually have a heyday with all our Private information. DO not venture to tell me the Mob does not have influence in all aspect of Russia business.

I emailed Yahoo 3 years ago about a flaw in which someone could reset your password and take control of your account if they knew what year you were born, and what City you were born in. They did nothing to fix it. I'm sure Sara Palin yahoo account was hacked the same way while she was running for VP. Just a couple months ago they made some changes, so maybe that hole is plugged, I don't know.

She got "hacked" because she is stupid and used a simple, english dictionary word.

There is no protection against stupidity.

I mainly use FaceBook to socially market my safety and security web site so I'm always interested in any security issues. Hopefully they've gotten a fix for this problem. Thanks, Caroline, for this information.

Hi. my facebook account was hacked last week and I;m still locked out of it, the worst part is from my husbands account I can see the persons email address and can't do anything.
I'm still waiting for Facebook to do something about it!!!!!! They don't even freeze the account while it's been sorted out and to me that's totally wrong.
