A hacker has posted the phone numbers and sensitive account details of nearly 533 million (53.3 crore) Facebook users — about a fifth of the social networking platform’s entire user base — including over 61 lakh Indian users which has been dumped on a public cybercrime forum. The leaked data includes Facebook ID numbers, profile names, email addresses, location information, gender details, job data, and other details. « All 533,000,000 Facebook records were just leaked for free. This means that if you have a Facebook account, it is extremely likely the phone number used for the account was leaked, » tweeted Alon Gal, CTO of security firm Hudson Rock. « I have yet to see Facebook acknowledging this absolute negligence of your data, » he added. Facebook has confirmed the leak to The Record.
