Hulu a streaming video site have publicized that they have discovered some loopholes in facebook.
Previously, Hulu had announced that they have come up with a new feature that allows Hulu users to comment on a specific instant within a video. Both the comment and the portion of the video can be shared on your Facebook profile by clicking a button on the video player’s page. This feature uses facebook connect. Connect is a service that lets Facebook users log into third-party services using their Facebook account information.

But shortly after launching their Facebook Connect feature they noticed that a small number of users were seeing someone else’s account information upon logging in to their accounts through the feature. The company said that highly sensitive information such as account passwords or credit card numbers should not be compromised as a result of a bug.
Hence, Hulu said it won’t roll out Facebook Connect integration to the site again until the company can ensure that privacy breaches won’t occur in the future.
