Major Facebook Glitch Bombarded Users with Messages Not Meant for Them
Undoubtedly adding to the privacy concerns surrounding Facebook and its handling of personal information, the social networking site suffered from a glitch late Wednesday when a small number of users were bombarded with e-mail messages that were not meant for them.
According to the Wall Street Journal, which first reported the slip-up, Facebook has blamed the glitch on a bug in computer code used to handle messages on the site. That bug somehow allowed some messages to be rerouted to people that were not the intended recipients.
In one particular case, a user received more than 100 messages meant for someone else.
Just a few months ago, Facebook sparked some major privacy concerns when it made changes to the popular social networking site.

Not just on facebook but also in emails! I have been receiving messages in my email that does not belong to me but to other people. This is an issue of security.
