Facebook denies reports of major privacy breach
Facebook today denied news reports of a major privacy breach involving users who saw their private messages from 2009 and before suddenly appearing on their viewable timelines as messages posted by their friends.
Users reported seeing their private messages, along with viewable wall posts appearing under the "Friends" box in Facebook's Timeline view, according to the news reports. This reporter's Facebook account did not appear to have the problem. TechCrunch, one of the news sites that carried the story, reported receiving several emails from readers complaining about seeing their older private messages suddenly viewable to others.
