On Saturday, an exclusive AP report told a story of an AT&T network glitch which allowed some mobile users the ability to login to other people's Facebook accounts. Although according to the story only a handful of people were affected by this glitch, the security flaw could have "far reaching implications for everyone on the Internet," wrote the reporter. After reviewing the details of the incident, the "glitch" appears to be more of an issue with some misconfigured software at AT&T and less of an internet-wide security concern, as previously feared.
