Facebook bug unblocks unwanted connections for a bit
Facebook said it is notifying more than 800,000 users that a software bug temporarily unblocked people at the social network and its Messenger service. The glitch active between May 29 and June 5 has been fixed, according to Facebook, which has been striving to regain trust in the aftermath of a Cambridge Analytica data privacy scandal.
Facebook admitted that up to 87 million users may have had their data hijacked by British consultancy Cambridge Analytica. Image source: Reuters
