An error ... left the TradeMe, Bebo and Facebook accounts of its customers open to strangers for a time.
The error meant some Slingshot customers were randomly able to view other people's accounts when accessing these websites ...
TradeMe ... said the fault didn't allow people to bid on auctions, change details, or view passwords or financial details.Slingshot ... said the problem ... was the result of a new caching configuration ...
Abridged for brevity. So that sounds like a pretty crap cache if its mixing up its end users! Guess maybe it just had NO discrimination so everyone got the single last cache item for a given URL. Maybe it was not considering the parameters at the end of URLs, to tardme.com/home.rar?IGNOREDID=dontMatter
Anyways, LOL !
