Big News: Data leak of over 26.7 million Facebook users

New Delhi: npnews24 Online – A big news related to Facebook has come out. In fact Facebook is once surrounded by questions about user privacy. According to a report, security researcher Bob Diachenko has found a database where 267 million Facebook users have data. According to reports, the server in which the data is stored is not secure nor password protected.

According to a media report, 267 million user IDs, phone numbers and names have become public online. This database is so weak that it can be accessed without password and authentication. Researchers believe that this data from Facebook has been collected by illegal scraping operation or misuse of Facebook API.

In this case Facebook has said that ‘we are looking at this matter, but we believe that this data is from the past few years as we have recently made changes to protect users’ information’. According to the researcher, it was reported about the database to the service provider who manages the IP address of this server. But the database went public two weeks ago.
