The glitch meant Facebook users who though they were sharing content with\u00a0just friends or small groups actually made their posts available to the general public. The incident is the latest privacy gaffe for the social media company that has<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>faced a stream of backlash from data privacy problems since March.<\/p>\n<p>Facebook said users impacted by the glitch, which occurred between May 18 to May 27, will be\u00a0notified. It said affected users that had their privacy settings inadvertently changed will be reverted\u00a0 to their previous privacy settings.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201c<\/em>We recently found a bug that automatically suggested posting publicly when some people were creating their Facebook posts,\u201d Erin Egan, chief privacy officer at Facebook, said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/newsroom.fb.com\/news\/2018\/06\/audience-selector-error\/\">post<\/a> on Thursday. \u201cWe have fixed this issue and starting today we are letting everyone affected know and asking them to review any posts they made during that time. To be clear, this bug did not impact anything people had posted before \u2013 and they could still choose their audience just as they always have. We\u2019d like to apologize for this mistake.<em>\u201c<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This bug occurred as Facebook was building a new way to share featured items on users\u2019 profiles, Egan said. \u201cSince these featured items are public, the suggested audience for all new posts \u2013 not just these items \u2013 was set to public,\u201d she said.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>To be clear, no existing private posts were changed to be public, a Facebook spokesperson told Threatpost. The bug only changed the Facebook composer settings to \u201cpublic\u201d during the 10-day window. That meant privacy settings for existing Facebook posting had not changed. According to Facebook, it became aware of the glitch on May 22.<\/p>\n<p>Impacted users received a notice asking them to review Facebook posts they made during the time \u2013 and if they posted publicly, they\u2019ll see a notification when they log in leading to a page with more information.<\/p>\n<p>The security hits seem to just keep coming for Facebook, which has faced backlash after an <a href=\"https:\/\/threatpost.com\/experts-call-facebooks-latest-controversy-a-social-media-breach-of-trust\/130572\/\">acknowledgement<\/a>\u00a0in March that since 2015 a third-party application had handed over the data of up to 50 million platform users through developer Aleksandr Kogan to Cambridge Analytica \u2013 a consulting group that has worked on several high-profile political campaigns, including that of President Donald Trump\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>Just <a href=\"https:\/\/threatpost.com\/facebook-defends-against-device-integrated-apis-policy-but-concerns-remain\/132482\/\">earlier<\/a> this week, a New York Times article alleged that Facebook struck deals enabling phone-makers to access users\u2019 personal information. The article, posted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2018\/06\/03\/technology\/facebook-device-partners-users-friends-data.html\">Sunday<\/a>, said Facebook reached data-sharing partnerships with at least 60 device-makers \u2014 including Apple, Amazon, Microsoft and Samsung \u2014 over the last decade.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>While these deals enabled the vendors to offer customers integrated features with Facebook, such as messaging and address books, the New York Times said that it found that they could also access the data of users\u2019 friends without their consent.<\/p>\n<p>Experts in the IT world think that Facebook, and other social media platforms, need to be better aware of the importance of data not to their business, but to their users.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is important that these platforms clean up their image and be more responsible with their users\u2019 data,\u201d Andrew Avenassian, chief operations officer at Avecto told Threatpost. \u201cDespite Facebook\u2019s efforts to resolve the issue through third-party data restrictions, social media users still need to be vigilant about where they are authorizing their data. Data harvesting will continue to be an issue no matter what the initiative is to fix it.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span> Ideally, no personally identifiable data should be collected in my opinion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Social media platforms need clear, regular and transparent communication with consumers, Ojas Rege, chief strategy officer of MobileIron, told Threatpost in an email. He added, they also need a strict vetting processes for any data exchanges between partners.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery platform needs to take this incredibly seriously,\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0Rege\u00a0<\/span>said. \u201cI don\u2019t know how different platforms are structured technically but the learnings here should be absorbed and responded to by all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Facebook stressed on Thursday its efforts around transparency in an effort to rebuild trust with users and the tech community. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve heard loud and clear that we need to be more transparent about how we build our products and how those products use your data \u2013 including when things go wrong. And that is what we are doing here,\u201d Egan said.<\/p>\n<p>READ MORE <a href=\"https:\/\/threatpost.com\/facebook-software-bug-made-some-private-posts-public-14-million-affected\/132665\/\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Facebook glitch in May set millions of posts that users composed to \u201cpublic&#8221; for ten days.
