Facebook data leak now under EU data regulator investigation

Facebook data leak now under EU data regulator investigation By 10:22 AM Ireland s Data Protection Commission (DPC) is investigating a massive data leak concerning a database containing personal information belonging to more than 530 million Facebook users. Previous datasets were published in 2019 and 2018 relating to a large-scale scraping of the Facebook website which at the time Facebook advised occurred between June 2017 and April 2018 when Facebook closed off a vulnerability in its phone lookup functionality, the DPC said. Because the scraping took place prior to GDPR, Facebook chose not to notify this as a personal data breach under GDPR. The DPC also said that the recently leaked dataset seems to include information from additional Facebook user records which may be from a later period.
