Hacker Found Facebook Vulnerability that Exposes Your Private Photos and Receive $10000 Reward
Bug hunter Laxman Muthiyah has reported a Facebook vulnerability that exposes private photos to potentially malicious applications. If you have enabled automatic Facebook Photo Sync feature on your iPhone, iPad or Android devices, then Hackers can steal your personal photographs without your knowledge.
But this bug is now fixed when Laxman reported it to Facebook.

Last month the Laxman scored US$12,500 for quietly disclosing a method to delete photo albums from the site using the Facebook Graph API
