A new list published on Pirate Bay has once again caused a furore about data security and social networking. The list was created by an online IT security consultant named Ron Bowles. Using a simple piece of code, he gathered together the URLs, names and unique IDs of all searchable Facebook profiles. He then published the list.

The list – which has so far been downloaded by around 1000 people – contains information on over 100 million Facebook users, a fifth of the total amount of members on Facebook. Just goes to show that despite its promises and tweaks, Facebook remains as insecure as ever.
