If you read the recent headlines about the data leak
involving more than a half-billion Facebook users, you’re probably shaking your
head wondering what happened to personal privacy. If you’ve been keeping up with the news, last
year there were massive data breaches where hackers penetrated Fortune 500
companies like Microsoft, General Electric, MGM Resorts, Marriott, Walgreens,
Carnival Cruise Lines, AmTrak, and T-Mobile just to name a few. Recently, Facebook exposed the name, location,
birthdate, email address, phone number, ID, account creation date, relationship
status, and Bio due to a known vulnerability that it allegedly fixed in 2019,
according to a blog on the Verge.
