Facebook bug let apps access unposted photos for millions of users
Facebook has disclosed yet another privacy flub. This time around, it says a bug in the Photo API led to third-party apps being able to access not only timeline photos (which users had permitted them to do), but Stories, Marketplace images and photos people uploaded to Facebook but never actually shared. "For example, if someone uploads a photo to Facebook but doesn't finish posting it -- maybe because they've lost reception or walked into a meeting -- we store a copy of that photo so the person has it when they come back to the app to complete their post," Engineering Director Tomer Bar explained in a post.

[$$] Facebook Bug Potentially Exposed Unshared Photos of Up 6.8 Million Users
Facebook Inc. said pictures belonging to up to 6.8 million users may have been exposed by a software glitch that granted app developers access to the photos, the latest in a series of privacy lapses at the social-media giant. Up to 1,500 apps may have had improper access to photos that weren’t yet shared by Facebook users, including in draft posts, from Sept. 13 to Sept. 25, the company said Friday in a post on its developers’ blog. A company spokeswoman said Facebook found and fixed the bug on Sept. 25 after an internal team made the discovery.

Facebook Exposed Millions of Users' Unshared Photos to Developers
A software glitch may have exposed the unshared photos of millions of Facebook users to app developers, the social media giant disclosed Friday in a blog post. The result is "that some third-party apps may have had access to a broader set of photos than usual for 12 days," the company states, noting the unauthorized access involved Facebook customers who had granted permission third-party apps to access their photos. The photo sharing snafu is the latest in a series of privacy screwups for Facebook in what has been a rocky 2018.

[$$] Companies Ramp Up Stock Buybacks as Market Swoon Continues
Shares in a handful of U.S. companies have rallied following recent announcements of increased share repurchases, a welcome development for investors bruised by market volatility. Facebook Inc., Mastercard Inc., Lowe’s Cos., AbbVie Inc., United Rentals Inc. and Pioneer Natural Resources Co. are among the companies that have unveiled bigger or resumed share buybacks this month as the S&P 500 heads toward its worst quarter since 2011. Buybacks make corporate profits appear stronger by lowering the number of shares outstanding, buoying per-share earnings even without overall profit growth.
Associated Press•5 hours agoBug may have exposed photos from 7M Facebook users
Facebook's privacy controls have broken down yet again, this time through a software flaw affecting nearly 7 million users who had photos exposed to a much wider audience than intended. The bug disclosed Friday gave hundreds of apps unauthorized access to photos that could in theory include images that would embarrass some of the affected users. It's not yet known whether anyone actually saw the photos, but the revelation of the now-fixed problem served as another reminder of just how much data Facebook has on its 2.27 billion users, as well has how frequently these slipups are recurring.
