Facebook again went through a minor glitch on Wednesday. During a routine “code push,” or update, some Facebook users started receiving personal messages from other users that were not intended for them.
Several Facebook users complained on Twitter, that they were receiving dozens of private Facebook messages from people they didn’t know.
According to Facebook, it affected a small number of users and was promptly fixed. Affected users were blocked during the repair to limit the spread of private information.
A company spokeswoman wrote in an e-mail, “During our regular code push earlier yesterday evening, a bug caused some misrouting to a small number of users for a short period of time. Our engineers diagnosed the problem moments after it began and worked diligently to get everything back in its rightful place. While they fixed the issue, affected users were not able to access the site.
