It wasn't leaked, it was accidentally sent to somebody's browser. And it was a very small part of the UI code, totally meaningless.

But if you're worried about your info, it probably shouldn't be on Facebook in the first place.

Exactly.  If someone hacks my FB account, they'll get.. my name and e-mail addresses out of it. OMG NOEZ!!111ONEONEONE

LOL... People put so much more on that crap. If I was someone like that and a legitimate threat to facebook arose I'd shit my pants too. Too bad this is nothing. :|

No, I mean that I don't see how the code being leaked puts my account at a significant risk of being hacked.  I wouldn't imagine a website like facebook to be poorly coded. They probably check it exhaustively for stuff like SQL injection. And even if there is a vulnerability, it is extremely unlikely that the hacker would get my password for this, and just as unlikely that he or she would target me.

You'd think so, but it's been shown (no reference at this time) that big commercial sites have just as many of those types of vulnerabilities as small sites. Unfortunately, the data for that is under NDA right now, but trust me :P
