Part of the source code of Facebook has been leaked. This means people might have your password and information… Now how secure is Facebook? How much damage will it bring to the “company” that was just starting to get extremely popular? They posted a comment on the Techcrunch blog post regarding this stating no user data was compromised.


Here is some of the leaked code

include_once $_SERVER['PHP_ROOT'].’/html/init.php’;
include_once $_SERVER['PHP_ROOT'].’/lib/home.php’;
include_once $_SERVER['PHP_ROOT'].’/lib/requests.php’;
include_once $_SERVER['PHP_ROOT'].’/lib/feed/newsfeed.php’;
include_once $_SERVER['PHP_ROOT'].’/lib/poke.php’;
include_once $_SERVER['PHP_ROOT'].’/lib/share.php’;
include_once $_SERVER['PHP_ROOT'].’/lib/orientation.php’;
include_once $_SERVER['PHP_ROOT'].’/lib/feed/newsfeed.php’;
include_once $_SERVER['PHP_ROOT'].’/lib/mobile/register.php’;
include_once $_SERVER['PHP_ROOT'].’/lib/forms_lib.php’;
include_once $_SERVER['PHP_ROOT'].’/lib/contact_importer/contact_importer.php’;
include_once $_SERVER['PHP_ROOT'].’/lib/feed/util.php’;
include_once $_SERVER['PHP_ROOT'].’/lib/hiding_prefs.php’;
include_once $_SERVER['PHP_ROOT'].’/lib/abtesting.php’;
include_once $_SERVER['PHP_ROOT'].’/lib/friends.php’;
include_once $_SERVER['PHP_ROOT'].’/lib/statusupdates.php’;

// lib/display/feed.php has to be declared here for scope issues.
// This keeps display/feed.php cleaner and easier to understand.
include_once $_SERVER['PHP_ROOT'].’/lib/display/feed.php’;
include_once $_SERVER['PHP_ROOT'].’/lib/monetization_box.php’;

// require login
$user = require_login();
print_time(‘require_login’);
param_request(array( ‘react’ => $PARAM_EXISTS));
