Phone Numbers of 400 mn Facebook Users Exposed!

According to a US media report that was released this Wednesday, in a major privacy lapse that affected Facebook recently, phone numbers of more than 400 million Facebook accounts were rendered exposed to the public.

The report by tech news website TechCrunch said that a server was compromised that contained 419 million records which include 133 million US accounts, 50 million Vietnam accounts, and 18 Britain accounts.

The report said since the server wasn’t protected by a password, anyone could have accessed the files.
