MySpace plugging photo peephole
MySpace was working to plug a hole on Tuesday that allows anyone to view members' private photos without being friends with them.
The vulnerability, reported to CNET News by Canadian computer technician Byron Ng, was easy to exploit by plugging a member's ID number into a specific MySpace URL. However, someone would have to know which URL to use to be able to see the private photos.
Hours after CNET News notified MySpace of the security hole midday and several hours later a MySpace representative said the company had confirmed the vulnerability, disabled it, and was rolling out a fix.
Rival social network Facebook fixed a similar privacy hole in September.
