NEW YORK -
(AP) - Facebook says it recently discovered a security breach affecting nearly 50 million user accounts.


In a blog post , the company says hackers exploited its "View As" feature, which lets people see what their profiles look like to someone else. Facebook says it has taken steps to fix the security problem and alerted law enforcement.

To deal with the issue, Facebook reset some logins, so 90 million people have been logged out and will have to log in again. That includes anyone who has been subject to a "View As" lookup in the past year.

Facebook says it doesn't know who's behind the attacks or where they're based.

The hack is the latest security headache for Facebook, which has been dealing with political disinformation campaigns from Russia and elsewhere since 2016.

So it must be Trumps fault (going on since 2016).

How about they have known about it since 2016 but may have been going on much longer than that.

But then that might be the truth and look bad for the earlier regime.

As opposed to the security breach 99% of it's users suffered when they signed up.

Yeah, I got rid of the app and log in on a link.
Maybe not doing much but I didn't want the app in my phone.
I search my name occasionally to see if another account has been set up with my stuff.

These fuckers are selling off the phone number that you provide for 2 factor authentication.

Stupid, Stupid, Stupid.

A very good reason not to trust Facetard with access to your bank account
