Facebook user data sold on a dark web marketplace
Last month a hacker was selling 267 million Facebook user data on a dark web marketplace.
Now, a hacker/threat actor is claiming to have access to a database with 500 million Facebook user data from 82 countries.
The entire database is being sold for $30,000 on an infamous hacking forum.
The database includes all basic information of the users like name, job, and marital status.
Data-scrapping can be used to extract the personal information of users from websites like Facebook and Twitter. Facebook allows users to access third-party websites with their Facebook login information too, leading to potential security risks.
Victims of the breach are unsuspecting Facebook users who are now open to phishing scams, identity theft, etc.
