In August 2007 a hacker found a way to expose the PHP source code on facebook.com. He retrieved two files and then emailed them to me, and I wrote about the issue:

http://techcrunch.com/2007/08/11/facebook-source-code-leaked/

It became a big deal:

The two files are index.php (the homepage) and search.php (the search page)

# The main issue here is, if you do a bunch of delete calls on a model that has associations there will be some other records that
# still exist and point to legit looking values that don't work, because even though the foreign_key exists in the table,
# the record it is pointing to does not.

# For e.g. A User and an Event

# == Schema Information

# Table name: users

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
# This quick and dirty script imports posts and images exported by the
# Posterous backup feature into Octopress.  Requires the escape_utils and
# nokogiri gems.  Doesn't import comments.
#
# Videos and images are copied into a post-specific image directory used
# by my customized Octopress setup.  Encoded videos are downloaded from
# Posterous.  Images will probably need to be compressed/optimized afterward.
#
# Links to other posts in the same import will try to be converted.  You will
