BBC News - Facebook flaw bypasses password protections
The bug was exposed in a message posted to the Hacker News website.
The message contained a search string that, when used on Google, returned a list of links to 1.32 million Facebook accounts.
In some cases clicking on a link logged in to that account without the need for a password. All the links exposed the email addresses of Facebook users.

Jolly good news for any trusted members of the military who want to waste their time stalking strangers... Especially women, eh?
And just think- your taxes pay the perverts to waste their time breaking the law.
