*FYI* Facebook publicly displaying old private messages on your Timeline!

I don't have anything in my feed, that's really weird.

Ugh...thanks for the heads up.
I better go check now.

Well, as far as I can tell I don't have anything like that. Good thing I'm gunshy and don't really share private information on the 'net if I can help it. Now if my PM's from here show up there, that might be a issue.

Haha, I don't want any of my convos displayed publicly! I'm sure you can understand why! ;)

This is what I wrote and posted on my FB page:

**ATTENTION ALL** Look closely at your Timelines!
A potentially serious privacy breech has been discovered. From 2011 back, there is a box at the top of the 'year' called 'Friends 2011' or whatever the year happens to be. It displays posts your friends have made to you...but some people have been finding Private Message posts among the wall posts here, myself included! PLEASE double check your timelines for past years and make sure this is not happening to you! Private messages should be just that - Private!
I learned of this from a friend on a forum, and checked my own page. This is real! So share it around and spread the word!!

Do the same! We need to make people aware of this...and have more proof for the stupid admins to get it fixed. :)

Hmm...

I filtered through some messages... didn't see anything personal, but I pressed the HIDE button though just to be sure on all of the past years.

If you are concerened about stuff like this make sure you delete any 3rd party APPS that you are using or authorized to view and use your information!!

Privacy Settings >> Ads, Apps and Websites.. >> Apps You Use >> Then remove authorized Apps.

Had the same problem and I posted the "warning" on my wall.
