Last weekend,553 million Facebook users had their data leaked to a hacker forum. Despite including personal data such as phone numbers, full name, birthdate, email addresses, and more, Facebook isn’t notifying those affected. Facebook hasn’t issued an official statement regarding the situation yet. Liz Bourgeois, who is in charge of response communications at Facebook, stated that “this is old data that was previously reported on in 2019” and that the vulnerability was patched in August 2019, but that didn’t stop a hacker from uploading 20GB of data from 553 million individuals to the Internet.
