A small bug has been detected that allows hackers to run some javascript code in the background that could potentially uncover sensitive information about user and their facebook friends. The javascript code runs with various combinations of search queries that the hacker can decide on beforehand. Through these queries, the hacker can learn what pages a user has liked, the locations of photos that you’ve uploaded or been tagged in, whether you have islamic friends, whether you’ve posted anything on a timeline with certain keywords, and so on. What kind of damage could this do? Probably quite a lot of the keyword searches turn up any incriminating posts that could be used to blackmail a person.
