The security loophole allowed him to view private photos of celebrities, along with other access restricted photos posted by other Facebook users.

The Associated Press verified Ng’s claim by accessing and viewing a private photo posted by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.

According to a Facebook spokeperson, the security hole was fixed immediately after it was reported.
