Facebook Security Hole

Recently was found a major Facebook security hole which enables users to view a live chat of their shared friends. There private chats are shown to any user with a few mouse clicks. Moreover, a user can also access their friends’ latest pending friend-requests and which friends they share in common.
According to observation of TechCrunch , a privacy characteristic contains a vulneranility that lets others view personal information if they are aware of the exploit.
Now, Facebook has demolished its online messaging system which allows members to chat real-time with each other. There is also a video on YouTube in which is shown a flaw at Facebook.
As this live-chat system is out of order it is a proof that Facebook knows about this flaw and working on fixing it. Hopefully it'll be resolved quickly.
