Facebook Inc has inadvertently
exposed 6 million users’ phone numbers and email addresses to unauthorized
viewers over the past year, the world’s largest social networking company
disclosed late Friday.
Facebook blamed the data leaks,
which began in 2012, on a technical glitch in its massive archive of contact
information collected from its 1.1 billion users worldwide. As a result of the
glitch, Facebook users who downloaded contact data for their list of friends
obtained additional information that they were not supposed to have.
Facebook’s security team was alerted
to the bug last week and fixed it within 24 hours. But Facebook did not
publicly acknowledge the bug until Friday afternoon, when it published an
“important message” on its blog explaining the issue.
