Cyble security company Cyble’s research team, which announced recently that more than 500 thousand Zoom accounts are sold on the dark web, came again with another bad news. The team announced that the information of 267 million Facebook users appeared in its blog post. The value of this huge stack of data is only $ 540. Perhaps the only pleasing part of this event is that there are no passwords in the data. Information included in the data sold includes email addresses, names, Facebook IDs, birth dates, and phone numbers. Of course, it must be said that all this information is a great data set for theft of identity on behalf of Facebook. Much more valuable information can be stolen if users click on the incoming link and enter their information on the fake Facebook login page. Facebook is not in trouble The researchers bought this data stack and confirmed that the information for these accounts was actually stolen. In the past year, a similar number of records, mainly users in the US, were put up for sale online. Facebook announced in that statement that the records sold were seized before changes made to protect personal information. Facebook is having a hard time restoring respect after receiving a heavy blow after the Cambridge Analytica scandal. Especially the data protection, privacy and follow-up ads that come against the company make Facebook even more difficult. According to the news in Forbes, it is quite possible that this data was also obtained from past leaks and not due to Facebook’s current weak security. Facebook and many other sites make suggestions to use the two-factor authentication method. In this way, if any username and password leaks, it becomes very difficult for the attacker to find your account. This type of protection provides 99% protection for attacks on your account. You can check this in the two-factor authentication field on the Settings and Privacy> Settings> Security and Login tab.
