WhatsApp’s contentious new terms of service are slated to come into effect from May 2021. The updated privacy policy changes how Facebook can access users’ chats with business accounts.

Facebook co-founders were also affected.

Facebook’s co-founders Chris Hughes and Dustin Moskovitz were also among the affected users whose data was leaked in the Facebook breach. Walker noted that the data breach also included Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s contact among the 533 million others.

He wrote on twitter:

“Regarding the Facebook leak of the 533M people the irony is that Mark Zuckerberg is regrettably included in the leak as well,”

The confidential information included:

Among the 533 million affected Facebook users, 32 million belonged to the US, 11 million belonged to the UK and six million belonged to India.

Apart from contact numbers, the confidential information included users’ personal details like their location, full names, birth dates, complete bio, Facebook IDs, and email addresses. According to a Bloomberg report, the database of stolen phone numbers was posted to a Hackers’ forum’ and could be easily passed on to anyone with basic computing skills.
