31 32 121 661 | Facebook hack exposed 50 million users' info -- and accounts on other sites, September 28, 2018



An attack on Facebook exposed information on nearly 50 million of the social network's users, the company announced Friday -- and gave the attackers access to those users' accounts with other sites and apps that they logged into using Facebook.

 The attackers exploited a bug in a feature called "View as" that lets users see their Facebook page the way someone else would. The attackers were able to take over the accounts and use them exactly as if they were the account holders. That would include posting or viewing information shared by any of that account's friends. Facebook says no credit card information stored with the company was accessed.  









661 is the 121st prime number
