It's a funny thought that FB would hire another company to exploit their own software. Because you'd think the dev wouldn't need that. But it actually makes sense, since building in an exploitable flaw (intentionally or not) is NOT the same as making real-world use of it.

Plus even soliciting a 3rd party gives you plausible deniability if someone comes asking you if you exploited the flaw yourself. Oh, to be a capitalist in the 21st century is to feel ALIVE!
