Facebook announced yesterday that it has exposed private publications 14 million users for a few days last month.
From May 18 to May 22, and while Facebook was testing a new feature, private posts from 14 million users made during that time appeared automatically, since the user's privacy settings were not working. 
Facebook reportedly corrected the error, and by May 27, everything went back to the stage it was before. But before 27 May someone could publicly share your private publication.
Since Thursday, Facebook has begun to inform its users and ask them to check the publications they made during that nine-day period.
"To be clear, the error did not affect previous posts," said the person responsible for issues privacy policy Erin Egan in a statement. "We would like to apologize for this error."
The error allegedly occurred when the Facebook was testing changes to "featured" posts. According to the company, everything has been restored. Nevertheless, history reminds us that the Internet it's not a place that helps keep secrets, so you'd better take that very seriously the next time you're trying to hide something….
