Breaking news: There’s been yet another privacy breach at Facebook, where hackers or malicious third parties have stolen data from as many as 50 million people as a result of a widespread security flaw.

“On the afternoon of Tuesday, September 25, our engineering team discovered a security issue affecting almost 50 million accounts,” Guy Rosen, VP of Product Management, wrote in a blog post.

“It’s clear that attackers exploited a vulnerability in Facebook’s code that impacted ‘View As‘, a feature that lets people see what their own profile looks like to someone else.

“This allowed them to steal Facebook access tokens which they could then use to take over people’s accounts. Access tokens are the equivalent of digital keys that keep people logged in to Facebook so they don’t need to re-enter their password every time they use the app.”

According to Motherboard, Rosen explained in a press call that “The vulnerability itself was the result of three distinct bugs and was introduced in July 2017. It’s important to say—the attackers could use the account as if they were the account holder.”

However, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg tried to be as reassuring as possible that the flaw was patched and that Facebook is “taking precautionary measures for those who might have been affected,” by forcibly signing out 90 million users who may have been affected and making them manually sign back in.

Additionally, the “View As” feature has been disabled “while it conducts a thorough security review.”

Rosen added: “This attack exploited the complex interaction of multiple issues in our code. It stemmed from a change we made to our video uploading feature in July 2017, which impacted ‘View As.’ 

The attackers not only needed to find this vulnerability and use it to get an access token, they then had to pivot from that account to others to steal more tokens.”

Even though this hack is different than the Cambridge Analytica scandal where the personal data of 50 million users was obtained under false pretenses, it’s still best to limit what you share on Facebook (or any other social media account) in case a security breach like this ever happens again…which it seems to fairly regularly. 

Elon Musk’s allegedly fraudulent tweets could do more than put him out of a job—they may have sparked a financial disaster for Tesla stockholders.

The Securities and Exchange Commission is already suing the billionaire tech mogul for tweeting “false and misleading” statements about plans to take Tesla private, a plan he withdrew on August 24. 

In a blatant reference to weed’s unofficial holiday, Musk wrote that shares would trade at “$420.”

It may have all been a dumb joke, but there could be serious consequences. If Musk is subsequently fired from his position as Tesla CEO, his departure could cost shareholders nearly $20 billion, according to Bloomberg. 

Market Watch has further details on what led to the SEC’s suit: 

On Thursday, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filed suit against Elon Musk, arguing that he misled investors when he proclaimed on Twitter TWTR, -3.11% in August that he was considering taking Tesla TSLA, -13.43% private and had secured the funding to do so.

Other reports have suggested that the Department of Justice is investigating Musk for potential criminal charges regarding his tweets.

Musk told CNBC that he was “saddened and disappointed” by the SEC’s allegations and actions.

“I have always taken action in the best interests of truth, transparency and investors,” he said in a statement. “Integrity is the most important value in my life and the facts will show I never compromised this in any way.”

Bloomberg reports that as of Friday morning, Tesla’s market value has plummeted from $64.8 billion to $45.7 billion since August 7, the day Musk sent the tweets in question. 

He might want to consider taking a break from social media.

Bella Hadid is being heralded as a “millennial Marilyn Monroe” on account of the head-turning pink gown she donned at Naked Heart France’s gala dinner during Paris Fashion Week.  

The 21-year-old supermodel’s Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture dress is more than a little reminiscent of the outfit Monroe wore while singing “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend” in the movie Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. 

If the side-by-side comparison above doesn’t convince you of the striking similarity, footage of the iconic beauty’s 1953 performance will: 

Hadid’s homage was stunning, but we love Bella as Bella even more. Check out her best recent Instagram photos below:

Earlier this week, Meghan Markle completed a milestone by making her first solo appearance on behalf of the royal family. For the occasion, she wore a pretty Givenchy dress that was the chicest interpretation of the sheer sleeves trend we’ve seen in a while.

If you’ve read my past few posts, then you know that I was just in Italy for Milan Fashion Week, and I’ve really been pushing the power of a simple white tank. While I’ve already shared my savvy styling tricks for making the wardrobe essential look expensive and the under-$10 items I wore on repeat with the basic, today I’m slightly shifting the focus and highlighting how different street style stars styled the combination while in Milan.

I spotted the outfit trend nearly every day either arriving or leaving shows, and the common trend among the look was pairing the “boring” piece with statement bottoms. Whether that’s printed trousers that fit like a gem or a cool snakeskin skirt that’s especially on trend, either way, girls in Italy played it laid-back on top with a white tank or tee and playful on the bottom wearing statement prints and textures.

To inspire your next white-tee outfit, I’ve rounded up the best MFW street style moments that can easily be re-created, and all revolve around the one wardrobe basic. Keep reading to see the looks, and let us know how you’re styling a white tank this season using the hashtag #WhoWhatWearing on Instagram.
