A UK software developer discovered an enormous loophole in Facebook’s defenses that allowed him to obtain their names, profile pictures, locations and more just by guessing their mobile numbers. How did he uncover so much private information? Easy: Facebook Graph Search. You may not know it, but your default “who can find me?” Via Bonnie Burns

“Everyone/Public.” That means any user could find you via your information—including your mobile phone number. So the software developer who discovered the weakness, Reza Moaiandin, generated tens of thousands of mobile numbers using an algorithm and sent them to Facebook’s API tool for app developers. Facebook then sent him back tons of user profiles corresponding to the numbers he’d generated.
