Did anyone get an email from Facebook warning them that a bug had allowed people to possibly see your contact details e.g. phone number even if its set to hide it from everyone?
I got an email (as did some others) that a bug had happened although apparently only one person has viewed my number.
Apparently its been around for a year and its to do with connecting your phone to facebook

I never had one, not sure I even have my mobile number connected to the Facebook profile.

If you've used your facebook on your phone you probably have it saved on there. Just not public.
I havn't had this email either.

I got the email and it said 1 person saw my details, however it was two of my emails and not my mobile number.
For anyone who wants a read of the email:
