LONDON: The personal details of 100 million users of social networking website Facebook are now available for download after they were leaked online.

Ron Bowles, an online security consultant, used a code to scan Facebook profiles, collected data not hidden by users' privacy settings, and compiled a list, which is now available as a downloadable file, containing the URL of every "searchable" Facebook user's profile, their name and unique ID, the BBC reported Thursday.

Facebook hit 500 million users in June this year.

Probably none of those 100 million really care anyway. People want to share their personal info these days.

what exactly is this person going to do with my information of my junior, high and college education?

If anyone was that interested, they would have done their own research anyway...

facebook is a brilliant thing... if u know how to use it... i mean there still has to be something better for connecting with people you know/knew time back...

like everything even this has to be handled well.
