These users belong to 106 countries from which there are 32 million American users, 11 million British users and 6 million Indian users and so on. In addition to phone numbers, the leaked data contains Facebook IDs, full names, location, birth dates, bios, and even email addresses in several samples.

Alon Gal, the CTO of cybercrime intelligence firm Hudson Rock said that “A database of that size containing the private information such as phone numbers of a lot of Facebook’s users would certainly lead to bad actors taking advantage of the data to perform social engineering attacks [or] hacking attempts.”
We advise the users to stay alert and refrain from handing over sensitive data to strangers online and inform the authorities about any suspicious activities or incident that concern your online accounts at the earliest.
