“Although this was due to an old breach this is old information, now it’s out there in the public domain,” said Jeff Dennis, partner and head of the privacy and data security practice at law firm Newmeyer Dillion. And that means the data could still be useful to hackers or other bad actors. However, for many users, information they had on their Facebook profile in 2019, such as phone numbers and birthdays, likely hasn’t changed in the past two years. “We found and fixed this issue in August 2019,” Facebook spokesperson Andy Stone told CNN Saturday. (FB) said the data is from a previously reported breach that occurred in 2019. The breach includes data from more than 32 million accounts in the United States, 11 million in the United Kingdom and 6 million in India.
If you were a Facebook user in 2019, it’s possible that your information is among the millions of records posted on a website used by hackers.Ĭyber intelligence firm Hudson Rock over the weekend revealed that personal information from 533 million Facebook accounts was leaked, including names, phone numbers, Facebook IDs, locations, account creation dates, birthdays, relationship statuses, bios and, in some cases, email addresses.
