100 million Facebook users data have been leaked on an internet.
The file contains user account names and URL for each user’s profile page, from which anyone can easily access the user’s details such as address, date of birth, phone number or email address. Once a user’s profile is access, it is also possible to access the details of their friends even if they have made themselves non-searchable.
The directory of the personal details of users, a massive 2.8 GB torrent compiled by hacker Ron Bowes of Skull Security, is reported to have surfaced on an internet file-sharing site.
Ron Bowes reported used a piece of code to scan Facebook profiles, and collected data not hidden by the user’s privacy settings.
Mr Bowes siad he did it to highlight privacy issues, to which Facebook replied that the details in question was already public information.
Isn’t it terrifying???
Are you on the list??
You can check whether you name is in the list or not by going through this link.
If you are in the list, you might be wondering how your name got there.
If your name is there then, the ‘Public Search’ in your privacy settings must be checked. You just need to uncheck the option to hide yourself from public searches.
I would like to repeat what Jame Nixon wrote on Thinq, “There’s absolutely nothing illegal about what Bowes has done – the information is, after all, publicly available – but perhaps the existence of a stalker’s online black book might finally persuade less security-minded Facebook users to get their arses in gear,”
If you are on the list, then i would like to remind you that the information was there all along, right from the time you made you Facebook account.
Just make sure to protect yourself in future.

Just yesterday, we posted a new about Google’s plan of developing a new service to rival Facebook, but Facebook have completely turned the tables by rolling out a new beta application called Facebook Questions.
Facebook Questions lets its users pose questions to and share answers with millions of people around the world.
Although asking questions or advices is not a new thing on Facebook, this new feature will certainly push Facebook users to relay on Facebook Questions instead of going to Google or other search engines.
Remember when you posted, “Feeling bored..dunno wad to do” or “Just broke up with my GF/BF,” on you Facebook status and the overwhelming response or advice that you got??
Facebook Question is something similar, but on a larger scale. It will allow you to pose question to the entire community and the probability of getting a right solution is very high when a question is answered by the collective knowledge of more than 500 million users and beyond.
“Facebook Questions helps you tap into the collective knowledge of the more than 500 million people on Facebook,” Blake Ross, the company’s director of product, wrote in a blog post.
“For example, if you’re vacationing in Costa Rica and want to know the best places to surf, you can use Facebook Questions to get answers from nearby surfing enthusiasts,” adds Ross in his blog. “Because questions will also appear to your friends and their friends, you’ll receive answers that are more personalized to you.”
What’s more, users can also add tags to their questions like movies, photography, cycling etc..and the question will be show to people who have expressed interest in the particular topics resulting in more informative answers.
Though this new Facebook application is still in beta mode and only available to about one percent users, this new application will surely take away a significant amount search engine traffic which happens to be dominated by Facebook.
When this new application will be rolled out completely or how the final product will function is unknown, but one thing that bugs me at the moment is, how fast can i get the answer to my question with this new Facebook Q&A application?
Walt Disney Company have reportedly bought Playdom for a deal worth as much as $763.2 million.
Sweet Jesus, that’s a lot of money for a start-up!!! 
Playdom, a tech start-up company operating for around two-and-half years, is the No. 3 game developer on Facebook with about 42 million monthly users. Sorority Life, Social City (oh i loved this game! for its exceptionally good graphics compared with other city-building game on Facebook), Tiki Resort, Tiki Farm, and Mobsters 2: Vendatta are some of the popular Facebook games created by Playdom.
The deal involves an initial payment of $563.2 million and an additional $200 million performance-based payment.
This will certainly bring a whole new level of entertainment to many Disney fans around the world. Can we expect a live streaming of Disney cartoons or re-runs of classic fairy tales on Facebook, or yet another chance to play Mickey or Donald on Facebook?
Wait and watch… you might even get a hit with ‘Sleeping Beauty Pillow’ from me very soon.. really!! Anything can happen when you are social networking in the magical kingdom of Disneyland .
While Search engine giant Google Inc is reportedly in talks of developing new Social Service to rival Facebook, two other giants – E-commerce giant, Amazon, and social networking giant, Facebook, have joined hands and launched a new feature that enables users to connect their Amazon and Facebook accounts.
On opting for this new feature, a user will get product recommendations for themselves and their Facebook friends. The feature will also list upcoming birthdays of a user’s Facebook friends and provide gift recommendations and also display movies, songs, and other products that are popular among their friends.
This new integration, that will open doors to a user’s personal likes and dislikes, will prove as a powerful marketing tool for Amazon, even if they manage to tap into a small percentage of the 500 million strong user-base of Facebook.
As usual, many people will be little edgy with privacy concerns, but its is reported that Amazon has emphasized on several privacy protections – saying it will not share people’s Amazon account information and purchase history with Facebook and will not attempt to contact people’s Facebook friends – to counter security concerns.
Now, only time will tell how far will this new integration improve online shopping experience or impact the future of online shopping.
According to a Wall Street Journal report, search-engine gaint Google Inc is in talks with gaming companies.
The reason – Google Inc is preparing to launch a gaming social network to rival Facebook.
The Journal reports that the search engine giant have already talked to various popular developers of online games for the service such as Zynga Game Network Inc, Electronic Arts Inc’s Playfish, and Playdom Inc.
A smarter move by Google, i would say, as social games and application have been one of the major driving factor for the success of Facebook.
Google Chief Executive Eric Schmidt decline to confirm the development by saying “the world doesn’t need a copy of the same thing,” when asked whether the company plans to launch such service.
While it is not clear when common people like us around the world will get a feel of this offering in the news.
Facebook, the undisputed leader of online social network, has so far enjoyed continued success and have overcome different services rolled out to rival it, and will not sit quite on its achievements anytime soon, especially with competitors such as Google breathing fire down its neck.
It is also worth mentioning that Google’s recent service, Google Buzz failed to make as much buzz as it did before it was launched.
But, before i sign off, i would like to add something more – Eric’s answer really makes me eager to know more about the project, as to how different will this new service be. A service to rival Facebook at this moment? All i can think of is the massive amount of punch – excitement, addiction, and importance – this new service will need to have on the users and i can’t wait to feel it

Facebook had always faced criticism in view of privacy issues and safety on Facebook.
Facebook on Monday launched a Web page called Facebook Safety Page, devoted to help users stay safe on the internet.
“The Safety Page will highlight new initiatives to keep people on Facebook safe,” wrote Joe Sullivan on Facebook blog.
The page will also contain valuable educational materials from Internet safety experts and relevant news coverage.
This new page is intended to supplement the virtual Safety Center that Facebook introduced last April – Security Page that now boasts of more than 2.2 million fans.
“Online safety is a shared responsibility. We’ll continue to think of innovative ways to promote safety on our service and elsewhere on the Web. By liking the Safety Page, you also can make safety a regular part of your Facebook experience,” adds Sullivan.
Facebook Users always had to live through several days of waiting and suspense to complete the process of deleting their Facebook account. This waiting period, 14 days to be precise, is nothing but a time of ‘trials and temptations’ – a time of constant remainder of what one will lose if they delete their account 
.
What’s more? It was also really difficult to find the option to DELETE FACEBOOK ACCOUNT PERMANENTLY, as there is no such option available in the Account Settings Tab. One has to go to frequently asked question section of Facebook Help Center and finally come to the delete Facebook account page.
But now, Thank God! According to a report on Slashdot, Facebook is finally added a ‘delete account’ button, which is of course available to only a small section of Facebook users, like they always test any new updates.
This is a long-awaited and very-much-expected feature from Facebook.
Once this feature is rolled-out on a full scale, deleting your Facebook account will be a breeze, compared to the current process. The ‘Deactivate Account’ button which is accessible under the Account Settings tab, will be listed under a new heading labelled “Deactivate or Delete your Account”.
So far, Facebook have been heavily criticized whenever they rolled out any major changes. But, this time , i believe, the change (though not major, but a critical one) which is already on its way will be a welcomed one!

Facebook on Friday backs Mark Zuckerberg with an official statement stating that the lawsuit filed by Ceglia claming 84% of the company is based on a contract that was likely “forged.”
“Mark has made it clear that Ceglia’s claims are absurd and we strongly suspect the contract is forged.”
This latest lawsuit against Facebook by Paul Ceglia is not the first for both – Facebook and Ceglia.
Back in 2007, a lawsuit was filed against Facebook by co-founders of the Site ConnectU, alleging that Zuckerberg took Facebook’s software code and business plan from them. The parties eventually reached an agreement that granted ConnectU $65 million in Facebook stock and cash.
Ceglia, on the other hand, has an ongoing case against him. He along with his wife Lasia, has been accused of defrauding customers of their wood-pellet fuel company, Allegany Pellets. The company allegedly took $200,000-worth of pre-orders fro wood pellets and then failed to deliver them.
With Facebook crying foul over the originality of the contract, which is so far produced in electronic format only and the current lawsuit against Ceglia, what most people think might turn out true – forgery.
But then again, Mark Zuckerberg seems unsure of the contract and it’s details – I think we were quite sure that we did not sign a contract that says that they have any right to ownership over Facebook.
We don’t see Ceglia wining this, unless the genuinity of the document is confirmed. Meanwhile, the current lawsuit has already caused some problems for Facebook with a temporary restraining order issued by the court.
