But until he logged into Facebook and found the same message on the home page. So, the email was legit and Facebook had indeed lost his email preferences.
It is very concerning to me. How can a company like Facebook lose data? Millions of people put a lot of data on Facebook and how can Facebook not keep proper safeguard to make sure data does not get lost and proper backups to restore the data. It is not clear if a programming error or human error cleared all the data or did somebody break into the database/file system and cleared it out. I am not sure if it was just my friend or others got affected as well?
Did you receive similar message from Facebook?

Just would like to share. I was researching about the leading social networking sites like Facebook and Bebo. According to the Computing Which ? magazine poll in UK, Bebo has actually beaten Facebook by 5% because of Bebo's impressive performance. Many facebook users commented that the security settings its complicated and underperforming. I havent received any emails regarding this. Thanks for the early reminder.
