Not Good: Facebook Security Glitch Exposes Info Of 6 Million Users

Facebook needs to pull it together. One day after successfully contributing to the demise of Vine (by way of Instagram's new 15-second video feature) the company admitted that personal information from six million of its users has been exposed.

A glitch in the company's security system revealed the email addresses and phone numbers of millions of people, starting back in 2012. Facebook learned of the breach last week and fixed the problem within 24 hours, but didn't announce the news until earlier today (June 21).

The social networking site doesn't believe the incident to be "malicious," but remains "upset and embarrassed" by the bug. "We'll work doubly hard to make sure nothing like this happens again," Facebook added.

Facebook was recently named as one of the companies handing over user information to the NSA in anti-terroisM efforts, and has denied any involvement in the action.
