An interesting breach of privacy has cropped up in FaceBook.
It seems that if you try to log in, but maybe don’t use the correct password, then it displays a failure screen, but shows your picture and email address.
At which point you can then harvest that email address, move along to attempt to log in to another user’s account, fail, harvest their details, and so one.
Well done, FaceBook.
