Facebook won’t tell you if you’re part of massive data breach

New Delhi: Facebook is in no mood to notify those who were affected in a massive data breach involving 533 million users, including over 61 lakh Indians.

The company, however, said that it has “made changes to the contact importer” to stop the scraping of the data which is old.

“We have teams dedicated to addressing these kinds of issues and understand the impact they can have on the people who use our services. It is important to understand that malicious actors obtained this data not through hacking our systems but by scraping it from our platform prior to September 2019,” Facebook said in a statement this week.
