Trae McNeely of WMDTalk is the apparent leaker of Facebook’s Homepage PHP Code.

Here is the story:
”

There are rumors about who leaked the Facebook code the other day. Well your answer is me. Actually, “leaked” isn’t the correct term. I didn’t have any access to their servers and I don’t know any employees. Despite what you may think about my website I don’t hack and I’ve never had intentions to. If you look at Digg and do a little searching you’ll notice that the code was posted on this site wmdtalk at the following address http://www.wmdtalk.com/showthread.php?p=1319 which has been taken down.

So I posted it thinking this is something I and other can study. Was it wise, no, risky yes! When you really sit down and think about it the source code showed up on my browser not because someone leaked it to me or I took it. The code was the fault of Facebook. They must have been updating their servers or a database was down. Now, I submitted this 2 or 3 days ago. I posted it thinking, “oh well it won’t be a big deal”. Well, within several hours I received an email threatening legal action against me.”

I don’t know if he will get in trouble or not but I don’t think he should because he didn’t hack to get the code, I guess we’ll just have to see though, oh and by the way, he now posted Facebook’s Search PHP code to his facebooksecrets.blogspot.com blog.
