A Canadian computer expert has managed to hack into Paris Hilton’s private Facebook photos.

Byron Ng found a weakness in the social networking site’s security systems that allowed him to view pictures of Hilton, her brother Barron Nicholas Hilton and Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg.

Among the photos Mr Ng was able to look at were private snaps of renowned socialite Hilton following the Emmy awards and of her brother Barron Nicholas Hilton drinking with friends (which was arrested the same night for DUI).

Ng informed the Associated Press, who alerted Facebook to the security breach. The fault was amended within the hour.

A spokesperson for the site said: “We take privacy very seriously and continue to make enhancements to the site.”
