Almost immediately after launch, Hulu had to pull the feature as the company discovered a technical issue affecting a limited number of users. More specifically, some users weren’t seeing their own Hulu account information upon login, but someone else’s.

Hulu is now looking into the extent of the problem and taking steps to protect its users and ensure the issue doesn’t happen again. The company has admitted that the flaw was the result of a coding and configuration error on Hulu’s side. The company has denied that the issue is the result of hacking, other third party actions, or a vulnerability in Facebook Connect.
