Facebook reveals bug exposed 6.8 million users
Facebook exposed the photos of millions of users without their permission, the social media network announced on Friday, Anadolu Agency reports. The internal team at Facebook said they discovered a bug which affected people who gave third-party applications limited access to their user profiles. As many as 1,500 apps built by 876 developers could have obtained the photos over a 12-day period in September. The bug allowed developers to access the private photos of users, as well as photos that people uploaded but had yet to post to their profiles, Tomer Bar, engineering director at Facebook said. "We're sorry this happened," Bar said in a blog post. The incident happens while the company is already under scrutiny for data privacy concerns.

Irish data authority probes Facebook photo breach
The Irish data watchdog on Friday launched an investigation into Facebook, after the social media titan admitted a "bug" may have exposed unposted photos from up to 6.8 million users. The Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC) probe will take place under strict new European privacy laws outlined in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). It follows a similar probe launched in October -- when Facebook admitted a security breach exposed 50 million user accounts. "The Irish DPC has received a number of breach notifications from Facebook since the introduction of the GDPR on May 25, 2018," said head of communications Graham Doyle. "With reference to these data breaches, including the breach in question, we have this week commenced a statutory inquiry examining Facebook's compliance with the relevant provisions of the GDPR."
