What the Facebook head says about the security issue
Mark Zuckerberg has structured the issues on three main actions. "We invalidated access tokens for the accounts of the 50 million people who were affected. [...] These people will need to sign in again to access their accounts again. We will also notify these people in a news feed about what happened when they were disconnected, "he explained.

"As a precautionary measure, although we believe we have solved the problem, we temporarily stop the function. [...] is a privacy tool that lets you see what other people's profile would look like, "he added.

"As an additional precaution, we also disconnect all users who have used the View As function. That means that another 40 million people or more need to reconnect, "concluded Zuckerberg.

What other issues were there at Facebook
According to information provided by Facebook, social networking issues have been generated by View As in combination with the ugly module to upload a video.

Through the video upload platform, these access token tokens could be obtained. It has been used since July 2017.

When the video upload function appears as part of View As, it generates a user access key to the profile you are looking at.
