Major security flaw exposes 50 million Facebook accounts

Personal information from almost 50 million Facebook accounts has been exposed due to a security flaw in the privacy settings, the social media giant has revealed. Attackers exploited a 'view as' feature which allows a user to look at a profile as though they were someone else, providing access to the digital keys of people's accounts. Facebook has just begun its investigation but says it has fixed the vulnerability and contacted authorities.
