Privacy flaw discovered in Facebook’s New Year’s app
In this world of hyperconnectivity, online privacy management is not prioritized highly enough by most people.
The number of individuals we send digital messages to on the holidays likely far exceeds the number we would take the time to send traditional greeting cards. Facebook thought up a way to make this more convenient for users, so they wouldn't miss half the New Year's Eve festivities by working overtime typing out messages to friends and family.

They would then be automatically delivered when the clock struck midnight in their respective time zones.
