Data of over 500 million Facebook users leaked

#meta无限可能
Aaron Gale, co-founder and CTO of Israeli cyber intelligence firm Hudson Rock, reports that the personal information of more than 500 million users of the social media platform Facebook has been exposed. A total of 533 million users were reached in 106 countries. Countries with the most affected users include the US with more than 32 million accounts, the UK with 11 million and India with 6 million. The leak was allegedly linked to a discovery by Gale in January. Gale noticed at the time that hackers had exploited a vulnerability in a phone number associated with a Facebook account to create a database of private profiles. On April 3, he found on a "low-level hacker forum" that an anonymous user had uploaded a database with user information that matched previously stolen Facebook user information. Facebook did not say whether affected users were notified at the time, according to CNN Business. Even if the leaks involve old data from 2019, cyber experts say they still have value for hackers and cybercriminals. This is not the first time Facebook user information has been found to have been leaked. In March 2018, American and British media exposed that the information data of 50 million users on Facebook was leaked by a company called "Cambridge Analytica". Days later, Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitted responsibility for the data breach.
Although Facebook has a huge security team to protect itself from hackers and the like. But over the years, Facebook has repeatedly failed in terms of user privacy and security. Perhaps, unless we as users start to take our personal data more seriously, there is no quicker and better way to do so. After the Facebook incident was exposed, not only did the public react strongly, but Internet giants also expressed their emphasis on the protection of user privacy, expressing principles such as "privacy is a basic human right", "data is a personal asset", and "protecting information security is a corporate responsibility" Sexual perspectives; how, then, is it acceptable to use the data? It's time for Facebook to be specific.
