WASHINGTON: A leaker says they are offering information on more than 500 million Facebook Inc users – including phone numbers and other data – virtually for free.
The database appears to be the same set of Facebook-linked telephone numbers that has been circulating in hacker circles since January and whose existence was first reported by tech publication Motherboard, according to Alon Gal, co-founder of Israeli cybercrime intelligence firm Hudson Rock.
In a statement, Facebook said that the data was “very old” and related to an issue that it had fixed in August 2019. (Reuters)
