100 Million Facebook Pages Leaked On Torrent Site

Stoobalou writes "A directory containing personal details about more than 100 million Facebook users has surfaced on an Internet file-sharing site. The 2.8GB torrent was compiled by hacker Ron Bowes of Skull Security, who created a web crawler program that harvested data on users contained in Facebook's open access directory, which lists all users who haven't bothered to change their privacy settings to make their pages unavailable to search engines."

    My only question is: Does it include pictures? That may be a deal breaker...

    Fucking stupid sentences are fucking stupid.

    This isn't 4chan, take your meme shit back to the pedophile hole where it (and inevitably, you) belong.

    I have attempted to do as you suggest, but I'm afraid I've been unable to locate either feces of meme or a perforated pedophile. Nevertheless, I appreciate your advice.

    I saw that excellent security documentary with Steve Martin about the dangers of being listed in the phone book.

    That wasn't Steve Martin, that was Arnold Schwarzenegger. If I remember correctly it wasn't just a pain for Linda Hamilton, but her roommate and date had an even worse time of too.

    The other day, I used a wrong option for wget and downloaded the internet. Maybe I should post it on an Internet file-sharing site.

    Right, that's what we should be afraid of because the government is much more likely to try and screw us than Mark Zuckerberg who would never try to screw anybody. Or consider selling the info to anybody who would screw us. In other breaking news, unexpected rain could mean the Titanic is danger of getting wet.
