Oh good, a way to make it so people don't have to hack me and now everyone can see my details, well if I set it that way... Interesting way to deal with information being available, let your users THINK they want it. Then you don't have to fix anything.

From the article:

We have identified this bug and closed the loophole. We don’t have any evidence to suggest that it was ever exploited for malicious purposes.

Yeah, it's not like Facebook already solved the problem. It's fun thinking of them as utter incompetents who don't spend years executing very subtle redesigns without alienating their hundred million users, because they haven't been radically changing the site since it first launched.
