Facebook says a glitch may have exposed portions of the personal contact information, such as e-mail addresses or phone numbers, of roughly 6 million users.

Facebook says the bug is tied to uploading contact lists or address books, which are used in creating friend recommendations. Facebook says the bug has been fixed, and no other personal or financial information was compromised. Also, the social network says they have found no proof the glitch is being used maliciously.
