> But it’s clear that attackers exploited a vulnerability in Facebook’s code that impacted “View As”, a feature that lets people see what their own profile looks like to someone else. This allowed them to steal Facebook access tokens which they could then use to take over people’s accounts

Isn't this the second time this feature has been exploited? I thought I remembered a similar issue from a while ago.

Yes, there have been other cases of exactly the same issue. I recall a case where it was possible to pretend to be people via the chat system while using “View as”.
