Facebook has fixed a bug that automatically sent unintended friend requests to those whose profiles were visited. The glitch resulted in users automatically sending a request to that person without clicking a button. After users began tweeting about the issue, Facebook acknowledged the problem and stated they had fixed it. Recently Facebook was targeted by scammers, with hackers renaming verified Facebook pages related to celebrities and then running ads with malicious intent.
