Timeline, which at a developer conference and plans to roll out to users in a few weeks, summarizes important past events in a one-page display.
According to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Timeline is "the story of your life,"
That has experts at U.K.-based Sophos concerned.
"Timeline makes it a heck of a lot easier [for attackers] to collect information on people," said Chet Wisniewski, a Sophos security researcher. "It's not that the data isn't already there on Facebook, but it's currently not in an easy-to-use format."
Cybercriminals often unearth personal details from social networking sites to craft targeted attacks, noted Wisniewski, and Timeline will make their job simpler.
