FBHive - a website/blog that specialises in Facebook news and updates posted their recent findings on how Facebook could be hacked to find out personal information. It was a very simple way in which most developers would know... In fact, it was almost so basic that I had the tools to do this myself if I were the malicious type. Luckily I don't have the technical knowledge or the intent :)
