Facebook has revealed the details of the data breach of more than half a billion users: the reason for the data leakage of 533 million users was not a hacker breach of its systems. It is reported by TASS with reference to a company representative.
“It is important to understand that attackers obtained information not by hacking into our systems, but by extracting data from our platform,” the statement said.
According to the source, the system vulnerability that led to the data leak was fixed two years ago. “This is old data that was reported in 2019. We found and eliminated this problem in 2019, ”the message says.
Earlier it became known that the founder of the social network Facebook Mark Zuckerberg was among more than half a billion users from 106 countries, whose personal data was leaked to the network.
