How To See If Your Personal Data Was Stolen In the Recent Facebook Hack (recode.net)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Recode: Hackers stole personal data from 29 million Facebook users in a recent hack, including information like phone numbers, emails, gender, hometowns and even relationship data. Was your data stolen? (Mine was.) There's an easy way to check. Visit this Help Center page on Facebook's website and log in to your account. It will tell you whether or not your data was stolen, and which data in particular. Worth noting, while Facebook's alert says that no "payment card or credit card information" was stolen, Facebook product executive Guy Rosen did say that hackers would have been able to see the last four digits of a user's credit card through this hack. Facebook also says it will reach out to people directly if their data was stolen.
No Facebook means no Facebook problem....
"I do not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it"
So they blame "hackers" with "hacks", both terms that mean diddly squat these days.
"We couldn't help it, guv, honest! It was those pesky bogeymen from the cyber spaces!"
Well yes, hackers share in the blame. Facebook will sell to anyone.
