Facebook Server Configuration Mistake
Yesterday, Facebook seemed to have configured their server wrong, so what happened, was a small amount of Facebook users got fed the PHP code for the page they were trying to access. There seems to be a lot of talk about it, but really it’s no big deal. It’s not like you could piece it all together and create your own Facebook from the source. The problem was fixed straight away.

Part of the comment posted by Brandee Barker from Facebook at techcrunch…
“I wanted to clarify a few things in your story. Some of Facebookâs source code was exposed to a small number of users due to a bug on a single server that was misconfigured and then fixed immediately. It was not a security breach and did not compromise user data in any way.”
Here are some tips to prevent this happening to you…
What Am I Doing?
- Installed W@W 1.02 patch, should now be able to play with American friends, let the desync commence
- Just finished playing World at War, can now connect to people. Spawning is really bad, a very high chance of being shot in the back.
- Still can't connect to anyone on World at War multiplayer, but people can connect to me, very annoying.
- Finished Call of Duty World at War single player, felt shorter than Modern Warfare. Now I can play Zombie mode.
- Played Call of Duty World at War, at the moment I'm not keen on it, WWII doesn't do it for me. I'll keep playing, might start to like it.
- Yay, I got news that Call of Duty World at War has been delivered from Game.
- Just finished playing Call of Duty 4, which could be the last time, as W@W should arrive tomorrow.
- At work
- Played some CoD4 before work, my team was really bad
- Downloading Ubuntu, Vista is horrible to develope on
- On my way home through the lovely rain on my bike
- Completed Far Cry 2 at the weekend
- Installed Twinkle app on touch, awesome for a free app
- Setting up Twitter on my Ipod Touch
