Major user privacy breach
On 28 May 2008 a major error arose on Bebo, resulting in many users being temporarily given full access to other users' accounts. Various users logged in under their own account were switched over to the accounts of others.

Bebo is currently down, What a **** up :P

Good old Bebo.

Sorry about the date. I noticed bebo was down when i tried to access it. Then researched it and found this information on wikipedia.

Much love

this exploit has been known for a couple of months now, no-one bothered to do anything about it. Session stealer as every other .jsp sites really.
