The details of more than 100 million Facebook users have been published on the net.

The list, which has been shared as a downloadable file, contains the URL of every searchable Facebook user's profile, their name and unique ID.

The file has spread rapidly across the net.

On the Pirate Bay, the world's biggest file-sharing website, the list was being distributed and downloaded by more than 1,000 users.

It is apparently quite an easy thing to do!  I have made all the security arrangements on there, and frankly they can find nothing out about me!

The telling bit I think is this -

>>contains the URL of every searchable Facebook user's profile<<


If people have made their accounts secure, then they should be alright.
