Supposedly you can set the visibility of your email to non-friends or non-network users. The problem here is that I have my FB email setting on private (friends only), and yet somehow this site can see it.

Methinks they may be simply attempting to log in with that email as your username... maybe Facebook returns a different error depending on non-existent username vs. wrong password. Very dumb of FB in that case, and must be fixed.

Email is still searchable, even if it is set to private. If someone types in your email address, they obviously already have it...
