Dear Buzz Gang and Crew,
A security expert by the name of Ron Bowes used a information scraping tool and was able to get information on 100 million Facebook users. Then Mr. Bowes decided to post the information on Pirate Bay, a widely known bit torrent website. Then to add more injury to the matter, the BBC has published a story about it.
If any of you are users of Facebook, I think that it is time for you to consider other services for social networking. Just a suggestion.
Oh yeah, the file is still there as of this post at 7:06 AM EST.
Later People.
