Database reappears on dark web with 309 Facebook users’ personal info for sale

Personal database of 267 million Facebook users which was being sold on the dark web for just €500 (about ₹41,000) has now expanded to 309 million, cyber risk assessment platform Cyble Inc said Friday.

The database includes users’ phone numbers, email addresses, names, Facebook IDs and age, according to the researchers. While passwords weren’t exposed in the breach, security professionals have recommended users to change it.

The researchers at Cyble also bought the data and are making it available on their breach monitoring platform, AmIbreacher.com. While the data isn’t publicly available through that platform, the company will make a searchable database for users to check if their accounts were involved in the security breach.
