OT: To anyone from Facebook (particularly authentication/security) I've recently (last few days) encountered a problem with your email (as user ID) authentication process. You're associating email addresses that have not been authenticated and that appear to be mis-intepretations of the email address actually submitted for authentication. Take a look at my HN profile here, and decide whether I have sufficient credence to warrant a follow up via email (also in my profile; note the instructions for bypassing spam filtering). I tried reporting this via your public interfaces, but that's like, well, choose your own simile. (I.e., zero response.)

Was the public interface you tried https://www.facebook.com/whitehat/report/ https://www.facebook.com/whitehat/report/ ? That's the correct place to report security problems.

If you don't get a response here, did you try reporting it through BugZilla (http://bugs.developers.facebook.net/ http://bugs.developers.facebook.net/) and tagging it as a security bug?

Thank you for the replies. I've received an email from a FB software developer and hopefully that contact will clarify and resolve the issue. That person also mentioned https://www.facebook.com/whitehat https://www.facebook.com/whitehat as the URL to use to report security problems. I don't believe I used that in my initial efforts, but I will keep it under advisement. For the moment, I'll see whether this direct contact can provide resolution (including calling me an idiot, if that's called for ;-). Thanks once again for and to the community and HN. I'm grateful to be a part and to be allowed to play my own limited role here.
