Think your private photos are safe on social media? You might want to rethink that as a former Meta engineer is currently under criminal investigation after it was discovered he secretly downloaded 30,000 private images from Facebook.
As reported by The Guardian, the employee in question allegedly created a script that allowed him to access Facebook users’ private photos while avoiding Meta’s internal security checks. While the incident itself occurred more than a year ago, details about it are just now coming to light as a result of the UK’s criminal investigation by the Metropolitan Police’s Cybercrime Unit.
