"...
there is [was] a major security flaw in the social networking site that, with just a few mouse clicks, enables any user 
to view the live chats  of their ‘friends’.
Using what sounds like a simple trick, a user can also access their friends’ latest pending friend-requests and which 
friends they share in common.
That’s a lot of potentially sensitive information."
