Breach of Facebook

Facebook had a leak of privacy when user personal info fell into the hands of advertising and data firms. Facebook put out a statement saying that this time it wasn't on purpose. The more usable applications on Facebook such as Farmville were transmitted to outside companies and with those there are links to personal info. The user ID has a number which is linked to personal info, and friends info, regardless of the privacy settings. Even though Facebook has altered their personal settings in the past year, many people profile's were seen with the  huge privacy leak.
