Facebook officials have declared today that they have discovered a technical release that could affect the accounts of 6.8 million users. The problem is access to Facebook and offering access to photos for third parties.
The company has said this problem has already been addressed, but the same has been able to affect the accounts of nearly 6.8 million social network users. More precisely, the launch could affect 1500 apps, which are built by 876 app developers. Officials have said several apps of third parties have had access to photographs that should not normally be accessible to them. This has occurred from September 13th to September 25th of this year.
This is the newest problem in the range of some privacy problems the technological giant faced this year, including the “data scandal. Cambridge Analytica” and about 30 million user accounts during October. Consequently, the company's stock value scored 1.3 percent this Friday, writes “Reuters”
