Here we go... the slow trickle of them saying every few days that the data breach is MUCH worse than what they had said days ago. Boil the frog.<p>1 month from now, compare what they've said to what they said this week.
Why is it that all of the times Facebook claims a "hack" it's really Facebook giving away or selling user data via an API, getting caught and than claiming it as a "hack" to avoid responsibility?
> <i>User messages could have been exposed in one specific use case, officials said. If an affected user had been the administrator of a Facebook page, and the page had received a message from another user, that message may have been compromised, Facebook said.</i><p>Isn't this a common use case? Are we administrator to our own FB account?
Hmm, Facebook has said that I was not included in this latest data breach, but on the other hand, the amount of spam that I've received in the email address that Facebook knows about has skyrocketed in the last few days... Correlation doesn't necessarily imply causation, and there's a million and one ways that spammers could get that address, but it certainly is curious.
search history is the most problematic, IMO, shows intent. But combine all three and you have a problem.<p>I think we need a new internet rule /law:<p>if it's online, it will hacked /stolen soon or later.<p>So they should not save most of the stuff.
