More importantly wss teh security hole that was left open for 4 months!

Basically a flaw in the code for Facebook meant that you would think you were on Facebook but the content could be served up by a malicious 3rd Party. They knew about it for 4 months and only fixed it when a Geek website published teh fact that it had taken them so long.

Never been tempted myself derek, I'd sooner have sites like ours. The new Blackburn 247 is a bit like face book, and I didn't like it really, but Michael has added a forum now so I may just start going back on regularly when it takes of a bit

Re: Warning for facebook users ...

I'd never open any link, on anything even from a friend. Unless it was something I knew for definate that they were sending it. Have been sent a few of these through Facebook, and I dont even open the message, because you can tell with the subject what it is. It gets deleted straight away.
