More than 267 million Facebook user data exposed on Dark Web
By MYBRANDBOOK
As per news report, over 267 million Facebook user IDs, phone numbers, and names have been exposed to the Dark Web. The news has been reported by Comparitech and security researcher Bob Diachenko. The information was found in a database that was accessible without the use of a password. The researchers believe that the data was gathered as part of an illegal scraping operation or Facebook API abuse.
Database was exposed for around two weeks and Diachenko reported it to the service providing managing its IP address.
Earlier in September, a security researcher found a similar database with 419 million records connected to Facebook accounts. 50 million accounts were hacked last September due to hackers exploiting a “vulnerability” in Facebook’s “View As” feature.
