Facebook says accounts of nearly 50 million users were breached in attack

SAN FRANCISCO -- Facebook says the accounts of nearly 50 million users were breached.  Attackers exploited a feature in Facebook's code that allowed them to take over users' accounts. The breach was discovered Tuesday afternoon. Facebook says it patched the vulnerability Thursday night. It notified the FBI on Wednesday. Facebook does not yet know if people's personal information was accessed by the attackers.  "We are still in early phase of investigating this," Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg told reporters Friday.

Will & Grace Sneak Peek Reveals How Will and Grace Are Handling Becoming Brother and Sister

“Whatever you do, do not think about Marilyn and Martin… having sex!” In an exclusive clip of Will & Grace next season, Karen Walker (Megan Mullally), and Jack McFarlane (Sean Hayes) are seen giggling about Will Truman and Grace Adler’s parents getting married. “The look on Will and Grace’s faces when his mother and her father said ‘I Do’ was priceless!” Karen belches. “Oh! It was like that!” she then points at Will (Eric Cormack) and Grace (Debra Messing) who are staring blankly into the distance. “Your paw’s inside your maw!” Karen later squeals, as Will takes a sip from a glass of whiskey. “And nine months later, a dust baby!” Jack responds, bursting into laughter and slapping the table.

And why am I still holding it?” The first episode of the show reboot’s second season (the show’s 10th total) will also see Grac...

The two-night premiere of  "Dancing with the Stars"  kicked off in fine fashion with some clear front-runners emerging and only one star really kind of blowing it. With celebrities ranging from a social media star to "Grocery Joe" from "The Bachelorette" fame to stars from television, movies, radio and the world of sports, it was fun to get a variety of backgrounds again after the shortened spring "Athletes" edition Among the biggest surprises of the night was "The Dukes of Hazzard" star John Schneider who proved that being the oldest competitor in the competition meant nothing when it came to energy and dance. Meanwhil,e Juan Pablo Di Pace continued  "Fuller House's"  strong run on this show, while the NFL should be proud of its latest representative in DeMa...
