Facebook says hackers accessed data from 29 million accounts as part of the security breach disclosed two weeks ago, fewer than the 50 million it initially believed were affected. Facebook says hackers accessed data from fewer accounts than it initially believed.The hackers accessed name, email addresses or phone numbers from 29 million accounts as part of the security breach disclosed two weeks ago.Facebook originally had the number at about 50 million.Facebook isnât giving a breakdown of where these users are, but says the breach was âfairly broad.âIt plans to send messages to people whose accounts were hacked.Facebook said third-party apps and Facebook apps like WhatsApp and Instagram were unaffected by the breach. Just a heads up, check your Linkedin account if you are there. You might be surprised when you check your “contact email” address in your account settings? It might not be yours! This seems to be a way to creep into your account and then do nothing as people and information is dripping into their emails. Also next you visit ANY foreign hotels DO NOT use their local wifi network, my mistake in China. Life is not easy and the bad guys are beginning to outweigh the good guys it seems. Your innocence is no longer an excuse for abuse it would appear and despite your age we get little sympathy from those around us. Please stay vigilant and ask for help if confused or terrified with the cyber criminals.
