More than a fifth of the Maltese population - 115,366 people - have had their Facebook personal information posted on a hackers forum.
The leaked information which had been put up for sale in January, has been uploaded for free. To access the data, one only needs to register on the website and send a message on Telegram.
Although only a small fraction of the 533 million Facebook users affected by the leak, the number of people exposed in Malta puts the island in the top 10 EU countries affected.
A report published on Saturday says that the personal data-sets leaked include phone numbers, Facebook IDs, full names, locations, birth dates and biographies.
