Get access to private facebook photos

Bad news folks... turns out any photo on facebook can be viewed by anyone regardless of how you set your privacy settings. On the post at http://www.lightbluetouchpaper.org/2009/02/11/new-facebook-photo-hacks/, they describe how to gain access.

While every facebook user is at risk, you seem to really open yourself up if you send around links to your photos since that then makes the ID for the photo available to the world at large. It might be okay to send around the links in email. But never twitter, post on your blog, or put any other facebook photo links on any sort of public forum. If you do, anyone can get to your photo.
