“Cyber-security company High-Tech Bridge set out to test the confidentiality of 50 of the biggest internet companies by using their systems to send a unique web address in private messages.  Experts at its Geneva HQ then waited to see which companies clicked on the website.  During the ten-day operation, six of the 50 companies tested were found to have opened the link.  Among the six were Facebook, Twitter, Google and discussion forum Formspring.  High-Tech Bridge chief executive Ilia Kolochenko said: ‘We found they were clicking on links that should  be known only to the sender and recipient.'”
