About This Breach
In February 2024, 200,000 Facebook Marketplace records, allegedly obtained from a Meta contractor in October 2023, were posted on a popular hacking forum. The data included 77,000 unique email addresses, names, phone numbers, Facebook profile IDs, and geographic locations. It also contained bcrypt password hashes, though there is no indication these belong to the corresponding Facebook accounts. This incident highlights the critical need for stringent cybersecurity measures to protect user data and prevent such breaches.
