Security breach: Facebook index.php source code leaked
Posted by Vivek In Beyond nixCraft, Apache, Security

Facebook is one of the famous web 2.0 portal, its php source code was
leaked on the Internet. This blog post has posted index.php home page
source code. According to facebook:

        Some of Facebook’s source code was exposed to a small number of
        users due to a bug on a single server that was misconfigured and
        then fixed immediately. It was not a security breach and did not
        compromise user data in any way.
        

However a misconfigured webserver can easily give out php file to all
end users.
