Millions of users of one of the world's most popular apps for young people have to be wondering: Are their snaps safe? Privacy is at the heart of Snapchat's appeal. But the company is scrambling after a major security breach. The disappearing-message service says in a blog that an updated version of its app would allow users to opt out of its "Find Friends" feature, which was apparently at the heart of the breach. The online break-in happened after security experts warned the company at least twice about a vulnerability in its system. "Here we have a business that prides itself on providing a service that is supposed to be oriented around the private interchange of information," Mark Bower, a vice president at Cupertino-based Voltage Security told the San Jose Mercury News.

Walmart has issued two recalls: one for folding tables and chairs sold in the U.S. last year, and the other for donkey meat sold in China.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission says the retailer received 10 reports of injuries, including one finger amputation, three fingertip amputations, sprained or fractured fingers and one report of a sore back. In China, Walmart recalled donkey meat following tests showing the product had been tainted with fox meat.
