Facebook Security Breach Raises Concerns

          The Internet is not a safe place and people do not realize that so much of their personal information is venerable to a hacker. There has been recent Facebook hackings that have many worried. There was a, "widespread spam attack on Facebook has caused violent and pornographic images to be posted on some users’ profile pages, representing one of the worst security breaches in the young Web site’s history and raising concerns about its vulnerability to hackers". Facebook is trying to fix the problem, but is saying that no personal information has been taken from the users....yet. Facebook executives promise that keeping their users information private is their top priority. Users were tricked into posting the spam into their browsing bar and clicking "enter", allowing the hackers to log in as that person and post the photos. Now technology professionals are worried that this is not going to be the last attack on Facebook and they could get worse. 
          Writer, Hayley Tsukayama, knows her audience very well, every worried Facebook user in the world and even Tsukayama is worried herself. Facebook is a global company that has many glitches that have been hidden from the public, but are becoming more and more evident. I am worried about my personal information being stolen and I am sure that everyone else is worried as well. All I know is that Facebook needs to fix this problem before people begin to terminate their accounts.
