No, but imagine the ressources they would have had to throw at the problem if the user had instead decided to delete ALL the photo albums on the site. Or imagine if he would have used the exploit to delete all the photos of a movie launch, etc. The reward is appropriate.
- tptacek 12y agoI understand the reward, but Facebook was buying the incentive for people to look for bugs like this; they weren't competing with the black market.
- itsybitsycoder 12y agoI'm guessing not much? I was under the impression that nothing you delete on Facebook is ever truly deleted, just marked as disabled and hidden. And if they're logging their API calls it should be fairly straightforward to look up which albums were disabled using that one token and switch the flag back.
- Raphmedia 12y agoNot from this point of view, but from a marketing point of view, deleting photos is quite a power. Imagine being able to ruin a movie's launch while your own movie is all over youtube.
