An absolute goldmine for identity thieves was released to the web by a hack into the Facebook database. Business Insider is reporting the personal information from 533 million Facebook users was hacked including: 32+ million records on U.S. with their “phone numbers, Facebook IDs, full names, locations, birthdates, bios, & email addresses.”
Do not be surprised if the data removed ultimately attributes to a particular political and social grouping of users that Facebook identified and categorized. There is a very reasonable suspicion the release of the information could be ideologically targeted.
(Via Business Insider) – A user in a low level hacking forum has published the phone numbers and personal data of hundreds of millions of Facebook users for free online.
The exposed data includes personal information of over 533 million Facebook users from 106 countries, including over 32 million records on users in the US, 11 million on users in the UK, and 6 million on users in India. It includes their phone numbers, Facebook IDs, full names, locations, birthdates, bios, and — in some cases — email addresses.
[…] “A database of that size containing the private information such as phone numbers of a lot of Facebook’s users would certainly lead to bad actors taking advantage of the data to perform social engineering attacks [or] hacking attempts,” Gal told Insider.
Facebook did not immediately respond to multiple requests for comment.
Gal first discovered the leaked data in January when a user in the same hacking forum advertised an automated bot that could provide phone numbers for hundreds of millions of Facebook users in exchange for a price. Motherboard reported on that bot’s existence at the time and verified that the data was legitimate.
Now, the entire dataset has been posted on the hacking forum for free, making it widely available to anyone with rudimentary data skills. (read more)
Suspicious cat remains, well, suspicious…
look what else Facebook is backing:

A real pandemic also wouldn’t empty the hospitals.
or a death map. to help you see people are really dying even though you dont see any
Idiots today can’t figure that out. A whole generation of morons.
LOL! So true.
Facebook funds election fraud but there are people here whining about how they need to use it
Inmates enabling their jailers
IMAO, Stockholm Syndrome
I rarely used FB but when they cancelled Lara Trump’s interview a couple of days ago I immediately deleted my account permanently.
That is what I keep saying…..
This makes me sad and angry! I have 2 grandchildren, both have epilepsy which started for both at exactly 6 months. They are 4 & 6, have been and are being given all kinds drugs to try and control their seizures! It breaks my heart, I can’t help but cry as I write this! The 6 year old is also moderately autistic and has hyperactivity attention disorder. And will be getting tested later this month for a possible mental disorder! He doesn’t have a normal life and will probably never be able to be/live on his own! The epilepsy was bad enough but as the other things started happening, my heart died a little each time! Their parents are the strongest, patient, loving, gentle parents one can imagine! What they’ve gone through in last 6 years is unbelievable but if you didn’t know they had 2 special needs children you would never guess it!
If it was just the epilepsy (thankfully the little one, so far, has only that), it wouldn’t be as heartbreaking! To think that vaccines may have caused all these other things, is unbelievable but not surprising! Big Pharma, our government & greedy people are evil! With all I’ve learned & read the past few years, I have no doubt it’s vaccines that are destroying innocent lives! And they certainly don’t give a hoot!
God bless all the innocent children, their parents and families that care for them, their journey is not easy!!
So sad, I wish there was something I could do…
To quote zuckerberg “Dumb f…ks”
Agreed.
Time for the “Mother” of all class action lawsuits to take down Facebook.
read the user agreement/contract, I’m sure they are not at risk
LeftTheGOP, how do we do that? You don’t think we wouldn’t have already done it if it were possible? You think some attorney who would represent us would take on Zucks?
This goes far beyond Facebook itself. Almost every other social media application lets, and in some cases demands, you register and sign in via Facebook .
Exactly! Why should they demand you sign in through Facebook…. so messaging and “news” can propagandized!!!
Additionally, doing so allows FB to access your demographic analytics- which is then sold to advertising subsidiaries. Doing so probably inflates FB page hits as well- which allows FB to increase its ad rates.
I just went to ‘settings’ on facebook, removed permission for my info to be used by many advertisers to present their ads to my page- but one must look carefully to catch all you can do there. I also have now joined gab social & MeWe social.
I was disappointed that Parler and Rumble require a cell phone number before you can post. What exactly does a social media platform have to know your cell phone number?
I’m not on Parler. I am not on Rumble.
Take that!
I don’t need nor have I ever needed ANY of the social media websites. I’m proud to say I’ve never joined any of them.
Single identifer to load into the cluster mapping.
U need one identifier to you to effectively decide if you have value, and if your value is for work, labor, food, or martyrism
true, but more precisely the phone number was the single identifier for FIVE reasons:
it’s durable. More likely people will anchor to a single fixed number …than change them! So it’s a type of durable marker…very dependable.
Phone numbers ALSO COMMUNICATE. so it repeats….
phone numbers are used for two factor SMS by most people (FB included,banks,travel,etc). It’s become quite trivial to hack s7 even without SIM swaps. If I KNOW your cell number, I pretty much can hack anything related and reliant upon it. (trivial to decent hackers)
users have gotten cultured to give up the cell phone number…..they hand it out like candy. to any website that asks for it. User data collectors also scrap the internet for these cell phone numbers. It’s one of the most prized data. In that sense, the cell phone number capture is assumed. There is no one, and I mean no one who has even entertained the notion of drawing away from cell phone numbers as a means of exhange of security priviledges. I would imagine the sort that uses Facebook has the security awareness of a muppet. Probably reuses passwords across many websites….birthdays….license plates…nicknames…pet names…etc.
here is what is interesting to notice:
not in 2019, and not NOW, has facebook or ANY security professional advised users to perform a password reset, or even to start using something else other than sms as 2 factor.
I wonder why?
(no, I don’t wonder why…being sarcastic)
So they can sell your info to scam callers?
Really, I can’t think of any other reason.
Concerns me too. That is why I have not joined any of them. I have not joined Gab or Telegraph or MeWe either. The more you put your information out the the more your exposure. I like living in my cave.
They use it to determine you are real. One of the problems with both Facebook and Twitter is the number of multiple accounts held by one person. They use these to cross post and built an appearance of numbers that do not exist. Parler and Rumble are trying to avoid that.
I have never accepted the “suggestion” to sign in to anything using fakebook. As a general rule I simply do not follow anything they claim “will make it easy” or “convenient”. I decide how easy and convenient I want my sign-ins to be.
All corrdinated to work with the illegal invasion. You are being cancled and your identity given to someone the cabal of Satanist can control. But we can flip this script.
If the churches will begin to evangelize ‘en masse the people we can turn this into a global revival. Satan in his overreach is bringing the world to our doorsteps to be given the gospel of Jesus Christ. Prayer changes things. God is allowing this so the chuch can do what it was designed to do.
Go ye!
Many of the church leaders have been bought off

Never have had a Facebook account or any other “social media” account — never will have a Facebook account or any other “social media” account. It didn’t take anything near genius level intellect to see what the future held for “social media” at its inception. All the current ills and pitfalls of “social media” and those that have already come to pass had been demonstrated and/or otherwise foretold 25± years ago. All it took to foresee the future of “social media” was a little bit of naturally formed adult cynicism, some simple pragmatism, and plain old down home common sense.
I suppose that I will have a nice lawsuit if mine info gets released because I 86’d facebook 6 years ago. I did it the correct way also.
Case thrown out. As long as men are eunuchs the trespassing will continue.
Group in large numbers to.reduce fear.
Partner with gangs, illegals, whatever it takes
Damn sounds like I was behind in the news.
HORROR APP Facebook hosted 94% of 69MILLION child sex abuse images reported by US tech firms
https://www.the-sun.com/lifestyle/tech/1620424/facebook-child-sex-abuse-images-concerns/
I notice all of a sudden this week, many people I don’t know nor are they friends of my friends or family, showing up where FaceBook have photos where they ‘suggest’ people you may want to know, there were many of such users (men and women alike) whose initial photos exhibit indications of pedophiles with many containing photos of themselves or others naked and many with minors – certainly not wives, or of their own children, grandchildren, etc
Facebook funds election fraud
If you use fb
They get more money to fund mire fraud
Yes, I’ve reported pedophiliac comments before, and Facebook has returned the answer that “We find nothing wrong here.” So yes, FB supports pedophilia.
I remember when the phone company used to plop a great big book on your front porch that listed the name, address and phone number of everybody in town.
My name, number, and address is still, and has been unlisted for the last 40 years.
Never had or used FaceTwit.
Do you own real property in your name? It is in a database and probably on the internet.
Funny story: it was the phone companies who discovered monetizing that database. I was a landline guy into at least 2016. When I finally decided it made no sense to pay $50 monthly to be inundated by cold calling marketers, the phone company asked for my new wireless number. I laughed and told them no thanks, I did not want them marketing to me.
Fast forward to today. Cold calling telemarketers are more prevalent today. I don’t answer any # not in my contacts and block the rest.
I’m wondering why all the fuss if the world knows your name, address and phone number. What are you fearing?
Sue…
The numbers make no sense geographically speaking and this casts doubt on the legitimacy of the 533 million number. Said another way, my guess is there must be many duplicate or outright fraudulent accounts in the figure.
Since this actually occurred in 2019, this “news” is old.
” we are about to get caught for selling to _____”…. ” We didn’t sell we we’re hacked”
it continues to be “under-reported”…even now.
but make no mistake it not just possible, it probably is a low number.
2019 barely made the news…24 hour cycle at best.
what do YOU think that information was used for?
I can think of half a billion reasons. more?
think of it this way.
cambridge analytical scrapped 87 million….using their own version of a two hop for “research”.
with 87 million scrapped hack account data, what was it that CA was able to accomplish.
let that sink in.
it’s not OLD news. It just no one placed any media attentions on it.
we have a pretty solid idea why that is.
There will always be attempts to monetize information on the internet, whether that data is public or private.
You can flail your arms as much as you want. My sense is this is just another distraction. It won’t affect my use of the internet or Gab.
Ok, so what is the website where this data has supposedly been posted?
anybody stupid enough to put all their personal info on a commercial site that has no criminal liability for something like this is really in need of a nanny.
I used to have an account under a pseudonym. I always lie when I have to give a birth date except to the government of course. I gave cancelled the account when they crapped on the President, along with my Bank owned by America accounts. I don’t rent of buy movies by jerks from Follywood spewing lies and nonsense while living in their 10 million dollar mansion with their 5 million dollar getaway in Spain and flying back in forth in their private jets.
Yea, that birth date is key. Never provide the true date, but many people dating back to the creation of Yahoo already did that.
Facebook will make the exact same statement they always do which is ‘ We will make sure this doesn’t happen again, we take your personal information extremely seriously and are committed to privacy and safety’ and the exceptionally dumb will buy it like they always do.
ALL the thousands who were in nursing homes last year were isolated. I mean totally isolated. Some such places didn’t even allow mail and/or packages, let alone in-person visits. Such people may throw caution to the wind and don’t care where their personal information goes. The only thing they have to lose is their lives, and they don’t much care if that goes too.(I was one of them.) Most of those people had friends and family on the outside, all of whom gladly gave out their personal information so they could communicate with those in forced isolation. Maybe you have to be really old to not care if the world has your information.
Suspicious Cat has been very busy lately.

Maybe the Pentagon did this. It would be invaluable in their ongoing Wrong Think Purge / Inquisition of their own troops.
FIB, Antifa etal say Fakebook didn’t give us your data, we got it from a public domain.
I just changed one word for a different word, but the explanation seems to still fit to a T. Hmmmm? See if you can figure out what it is.
Why Democrat/ Socialism is a threat:
1.Socialist/Democrat is a supremacist political ideology encompassing military, political, economic, and social behavior promoted through a veneer of tolerance, inclusion, and equity.
2.Democrats deem all other political parties and ideologies as inferior and are not tolerated.
3.Socialist policies are actually less popular than at any time in the last 20-30 years. However, the Communist/media and social ist internet platforms project them as more popular. (gaslighting)
4.Socialism breeds intolerance and calls for violent actions against those who mock, criticise or depict their policies in ways they believe are offensive. Consequently, freedom of speech would no longer exist.
5.Democrats promote discrimination against and subservience of women to transgenderism.
6.Democrats promote or condone “mostly peaceful protests” of those who bring discredit Socialism/ Cancel Culture.
7.Socialists promote the replacement of our Constitutional-based legal systems with Cancel Culture – a harsh, undemocratic, fascist system.
8.Democratic/Socialism is “promoted” not by peaceful evangelism, but through deception, intimidation, threats, violence, and terrorism.
9.Democrats practice of “Gaslighting”, or purposeful deceit, is Democrats greatest skill set and weapon (tied with terrorism). Gaslighting promotes the myth of a “moderate” Communists and falsely portrays “moderate” Democrats.
10.Democrats would not be Socialists if it did not practice all of the above. See “The Frog and the Scorpion.”
Democrats are a threat as long as non-Democrats embrace all “ideologies” as equals and Democrats continue their supremacist Leftist conquest to impose socialism on the world.
Facebook has it all under control – nothing to see here. Move along, please.
yall just gonna love this shiite:
https://fortune.com/2021/04/02/aclu-shares-data-facebook-third-parties-digital-privacy/
For several years, the ACLU has made digital privacy part of its mission. On its website, the group, for example, criticizes how corporations use people’s data, saying companies “sell to the highest bidder.”
“We shouldn’t have to choose between using new technologies and keeping our personal information private,” the ACLU website says about privacy. “The ACLU works to promote a future where technology can be implemented in ways that protect civil liberties, to limit the collection of personal information, and to ensure that individuals have control over their private data.”
oh…really…this is going to go over like a massive fart in church for aclu social justice warriors.
good!
scumbag communist Facebook socialism election fraud,
people should Delete damn Facebook,
This was NO LEAK…Fascist book, Twatter, etc all do this deliberately…
Beware using them…..
How many times does this has to happen, before people get the clue….nit join Facebook.
Yaaaaay, I don’t use the commie fascistbook.
Again, a vast amount of personal information, in a tidy package, is in the hands of those up to no good. I also just heard that the new regime has a plan to get rid of private credit reporting agencies and the job of collecting and reporting our credit files will be transferred to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
I’m sure we can all rest easy now, since Equifax was also hacked. CFPB was created to protect us. /s
No matter what happens 4% are gone. Literally un salvageable period full stop. Three hundred and thirty million means thirteen million two hundred thousand are lost gone and not going to be awakened and or able to comprehend what is coming, which is really sad as this is all of our faults……..
Not me!
Havent facef###ed in 10 years.
Deleted that after 1 week. I don’t even remember why I created an account. But I remember why I deleted it.
I suppose there’s some ghost remnants of my account, but I doubt it’s anything I need to worry about.
can we learn more about his wife? PDJT’s wife was brutalized. may i learn about his
Congressman Swallwell slept with a chinese spy… Zuckerberg married one?
Ha…glad i have a fake account…
Not really. It may be fake, but they can still track you link it to you. You just make it a bit harder.
Sounds like an inside job. Hopefully some enterprising trial lawyers who specialize in class actions will sue Zuckerburg and FB into oblivion. While there aren’t trillions at stake, surely the prospect of hefty billions will cause a race to the courthouse on Monday.
Reminds me of the CIA Vault 7 hack which contained the Hammer and Scorecard programs, prior to the 2020 election. Showing up in the hands of China.
It seems to me that this information would be very useful for tracking down those who have made statements the Communist would not agree with.
This think back about the Lindell video “Scientific Proof”. A cross-reference between the 2020 census database and the missing face book information would tell them what?
How you voted for one, BUT the people in possession of this information would tell them what votes to change, in the next election.
“
excellent
Good points and what I always thought myself.
BRAVO, Joe Fine. I think 80 million of us agree with you.
I have noticed since around 2001 that government and Big Tech had agreements to gather intellegence on population. Many of us noticed this. Government knowing more about us, and Big Tech learning how to sell the data, and see how to manipulate us.
I noticed after 9/11 event , that people were willing to give up their FREEDOMS to feel safer with intrusive surveillance , and I was sounding the alarm to everybody. And 90 percent told me this surveillance was necessary and they are in favour of Government knowing everything we are doing.
Both Government and Big Tech are on same page as to invasion of our privacy, there is no organization to protect us. In the past if Big Business was abusing the public , there would be watch dog agencies that would step in to stop it. Lots of consumer advocate stuff protected us. Now , there is nobody to stand up for us and Government and Big Tech are in lock step.
We are screwed and we allowed it to happen. 9/11 and this Covid-19 were 2 THINK TANK experiments to remove our freedoms and we have no defence against it.
Zuk will fix everything. Like the election. He’s got this.
They could also create an artificial/fake person for a state voter registration database. For example, they could determine that you never or seldom voted. So just register you in the associated state and use your information, in the next election.
30% plus of the people who were said to be registered did not exist in the 2020 election. The same reason Michigan voter databases were purged or cleaned-up, after the 2020 election.
Snoopy Says, It would be interesting to see the # of “Hacked” accounts (as a percentage) for Blue vs Red states.
Then the % of “Hacked” accounts per county.
They may not try to “Dominion” the “Big Blue” cities next time around. That will be expected. They may to try to “Dominion” Big Purple” cities; and there are many. Too many to defend against when only a relative few need be in play.
What ever they do DO in 2022, it will not be “Exactly” like 2020. There will be an unforseen twist.
Imho, this “Hack” is a turn in that twist.
I would be expecting a virtual title wave of social media platforms to have similar hacking.
Just like the Phoenix, I would expect those people who were purged or cleaned-up from existing state voter registration databases to return. For example Michigan. Backups are a wonderful thing when used for the right purpose.
A real news story would not just have Zuckerturd laughing in the story. Not his fan, not a liberal, but the news bias needs to stop. BOTH SIDES.
Reading in addition to looking at pictures will help.
What pic would you suggest Mark, if this was your blog?
We need to find out why all of the “conservative” platforms (besides BitChute) require people to give their info just to READ COMMENTS.
Even FB and Twitter did not do that.
It’s in THEIR interest to do so…sunnydaze…
Or they wouldn’t do it.
Simply “reading” would not be an issue or present any kind of liability for them; nor any additional effort or expense.
The info is there. The site is up and running. They seem to be keeping the lights on.
READING takes nothing away and costs them nothing extra. There is no change by simply -READING.
They WANT something…
They WANT it soooo bad, WE have to give THEM OUR PERSONAL info to find out what it is WE’RE giving up OUR PERSONAL info for..
Or WE can just hit the bricks.. OUR choice.
But WE ain’t getting in without giving THEM OUR PERSONAL info. And that’s THAT!!
They
Want
Our
Info
Perhaps, that is the ONLY reason they exist!
Perhaps, that is the “Business Model”.
I understand that some think we should remain on the socialist networking sites, but for me, it’s all a bunch of tripe.
This “hack” goes to show you are nothing more than a number for them to exploit.
The whole thought that we can influence or somehow convince the lemmings still on said social networks that the lemmings are confused and need to wake up is a waste of time. They are lemmings, willing to follow the “leader” over the cliff.
I will repeat myself at the risk of you all thinking I’m a pain in the ass, but divest.
Divest yourself of the media, the technocrats social networks, the corporate businesses stock scams and the vulture politicians. All of it. We must fight this battle on our terms, not theirs.
Work smarter, not harder.
Glad I’m not on CommieBook
This is news?
Every FaceBoot user had their personal information compromised by the worst IT criminals on the planet when they signed up to the terms and conditions.
Zurkiburp does not care. He got his billions.
Wow, what a difference!
Biden is the first presidential candidate in history to receive 80 million votes.
Now lets think about the Franks information. 32% of all the votes cane from fabricated people.
Then this should mean that Biden received something on the order of 53 million votes at most.
And, they can not even get the Supreme Court to listen to the evidence.
I told FB to cancel my account shortly after the election. It took a month after my request for them to delete my profile. My information might still have been in their database when this hack occurred.
Can anyone let me know how to check and see if my info is out there?
I would like to find a device (phone, laptop, desktop, etc.) that does not rely on Google or Apple.
Can anyone recommend? I’m tired of them making money off me.
Hacked or sold?
What’s the difference?
To the users – none.
To fb – everything.
Mark Zuckerberg is a space alien masquerading as a human being. If you happen to see him, he can only be killed by the truth. These greedy Globalists number maybe in the thousands and they want to decimate population of the planet and be the rulers of the remaining inhabitants.
Our political class can’t prevent this until Democraps and Republicans realize they are on the same side of this problem. I can’t imagine that happening soon enough.
They already know that they are on the same side. It just isn’t our side.
India? Now that’s odd. Curious selection.
Sounds like a successful collaboration between Fakebook and those ideologically-aligned with Fakebook and China.
