Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) was forced to take down its new Midnight Deliveries service, which was aimed at sending messages to friends on the stroke of midnight on New Year’s Eve, after a major security flaw was found.[article_detail_ad_1]

Don’t worry it is fixed now. IBTimes UK reports it has tested Facebook Stories at 11pm GMT and revealed the service is working once more, and no matter what user ID they typed into the address bar, they were returned to the New Year messages they had sent from their own account.

The flaw is reportedly quite safe to the majority of users, but if anyone has to say something more personal or include photos that they would not want to be made public, then the problem clearly exists there.

Facebook (FB) is struggling to become the number-one place for online users with privacy being the priority, but if it fails to be trusted to deliver just a simple New Year’s Eve message without showing it to all one billion users, then trust in the network by a number of users will undoubtedly decline.
