Huge Facebook data leak exposes phone numbers of 419m users. Thx Facebook ?
"Phone numbers linked to the accounts of more than 419m Facebook users have been exposed in the tech giant’s latest data breach.
Databases relating to 133m US Facebook accounts, 50m accounts in Vietnam and 18m UK accounts were found on a server that was not secured by a password.
Having access to a person’s phone number could allow hackers to force-reset the password of any online account linked to the number."
Oh great! So our 2fa is now compromised as hackers can now clone our numbers and get access to our information including on file credit cards.
