Facebook has once again failed to protect the information of its users. The Wall Street Journal broke the story today that users’ information was being leaked to advertising partners. I am not on the bandwagon that cloud based computing is the best thing for business. I do not believe all of these online businesses have privacy and security as a core belief. I am not sure if this is immaturity or accidental but it does appear that these systems are not being fully tested. If an investigation by WSJ can find the leaks then hackers already know more than that.
