There were several databases on the exposed server containing 419 million records — including 133 million on U.S.-based Facebook users and 18 million on U.K. users.

I asked Facebook for comment yesterday with a deadline of 12pm PT today. I got a reply at 11:59 am.
Unsurprising.
Exclusive: Millions of phone numbers linked to Facebook accounts have been found in an exposed database. Facebook says the data was historically scraped but the phone numbers we tested were still valid. https://t.co/7cHjDf6Qhk

If you ever shared your phone number with Facebook, there’s a good chance it’s now available on the internet, as hundreds of numbers tied to user IDs have been exposed. https://t.co/eUtNU4KLhq

Great example of third party risk: 419 million records with phone numbers found in an exposed database. Facebook used to allow access to phone number data, but restricted it last year. Unfortunately, you can't get that data back... (via @zackwhittaker)https://t.co/7i3ZxWfBEh pic.twitter.com/lO1xiKUorP

Funny how Facebook says a lot of the exposed user phone numbers are "duplicates". https://t.co/l3cYljh3Wu
— Zack Whittaker (@zackwhittaker) September 5, 2019
A spokesperson told me background that only 217 million are affected. But that's just one database — see below. There's a lot more data — and little evidence of duplication. pic.twitter.com/f0AFecUS2y
"The exposed server contained more than 419 million records over several databases...including 133 million records on U.S.-based Facebook users, 18 million records of users in the U.K., and another with more than 50 million records on users in Vietnam."

If you thought Twitter’s breach of phone numbers was bad, Facebook is the biggest fraudster imaginable. Nothing is protected the way FB promises.

Cos 419 Million people have changed the mobile number in the past few years. Facebook hate their users. "A Facebook spokesperson said that the data had been scraped prior to when Facebook cut off access to phone numbers, calling the dataset 'old.'" https://t.co/SN2twBNJo3
