A lot has been written in the media lately about personal security and social network sites like Facebook.
This morning a fellow named Ron Bowes posted a downloadable file which he claims has all public information on over 100 million Facebook subscribers.
The searchable file includes all information from the site (including pictures) which was not blocked by privacy settings, and even some that was – if, for example, you interacted with someone whose privacy settings were not as strict as yours, your info may be available through theirs. Changing settings or opting out won’t help now – your info is out there on a searchable file, available to anyone with enough available memory to download it.
The file is currently available at skullsecurity.org if you can access the site. Since the story broke, their server has been overloaded.
