"MySpace was working to plug a hole on Tuesday that allows anyone to view members' private photos without being friends 
with them.

The vulnerability, reported to CNET News by Canadian computer technician Byron Ng, was easy to exploit by plugging a 
member's ID number into a specific MySpace URL.
However, someone would have to know which URL to use to be able to see the private photos."

It appears that Mr. Ng is a man behind similar Facebook vulnerability too:
