Facebook does not plan to notify users affected by data breach
Facebook does not plan on notifying the half-billion users that were affected by its recent data breach.
Last week, Business Insider reported the data includes personal information of 533 million Facebook users from 106 countries, including more than 32 million records on users in the U.S. 11 million on users in the U.K., and 6 million on users in India. The data also includes phone numbers, Facebook IDs, full names, locations, birthdates, bios and some email addresses. A Facebook spokesperson said the data had been scraped due to a vulnerability patched in 2019. Insider also attempted to reach the leaker through the messaging app Telegram but did not get a response.
