A hacker claims to have scraped 1.2 billion user records from Facebook, including names, locations, and phone numbers, according to cybersecurity researchers.
The data contains user IDs, names, email addresses, usernames, phone numbers, locations, birthday data, and gender information.
Meta acknowledged the incident but stated that the data is old, indicating that steps were taken years ago to prevent similar incidents.
The researchers suggest this could be one of the biggest data scrapes from Facebook, highlighting issues in customer security and privacy measures of the company.
