A leaked phone number said to belong to Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg has been found attached to an account on WhatsApp rival messaging app Signal.
Details from more than 500 million Facebook users were found available on a website for hackers last week, including those thought to belong to Zuckerberg.
Technologist Dave Walker spotted Zuckerberg s name and details in the data leak, then searched the Signal app to find an account linked to the same phone number.
