A user in a "low-level hacking forum" on Saturday published the phone numbers and personal data of hundreds of millions of Facebook users for free, according to multiple news reports.
"The exposed data includes the personal information of over 533 million Facebook users from 106 countries, including over 32 million records on users in the US, 11 million on users in the UK, and 6 million on users in India," writes Business Insider. " It includes their phone numbers, Facebook IDs, full names, locations, birthdates, bios, and, in some cases, email addresses."
"While Facebook says that the vulnerability that allowed this information to be scraped was patched in August 2019, that does nothing to protect the information that has already been leaked," wrote Jason Aten for Inc.com. "It also does nothing to alleviate concerns that Facebook collects and monetizes its users' personal information, but has a poor record of protecting that information from bad actors."
