“#Data on 530 million users ‘scraped’ in 2019<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

Facebook<\/a> on Tuesday said a recently reported data leak affecting potentially 530 million users stemmed from a misuse of a feature in 2019 and that the company had plugged the hole after identifying the problem at the time.<\/p>\n

Business Insider reported last week<\/a> that phone numbers and other details from user profiles were available in a public database. Facebook said \u201cmalicious actors\u201d had obtained the data prior to September 2019 by \u201cscraping\u201d profiles using a vulnerability in the social media service\u2019s tool to sync contacts.<\/p>\n

The company said it identified the issue at the time and modified the tool.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a result of the action we took, we are confident that the specific issue that allowed them to scrape this data in 2019 no longer exists,\u201d Facebook said in a blog post.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
