A security researcher has uncovered a serious security vulnerability in Facebook that gives hackers a silent method to steal users' personal information, such as their full names, profile pictures, and friends lists.

Ronen Zilberman discovered that the Facebook API allows cybercriminals to construct a malicious Facebook application that can grab the personal data of social-networking devotees.

In a YouTube video he has published on his blog, Zilberman shows how a hacker (dubbed "Joe Evil") can steal information from a Facebook user (who Zilberman calls "Cookie Monster") by planting an IMG tag on a Website message forum.
