Wow. @ashk4n reveals that his 2FA phone number which was different from the phone number he associated to his account was leaked in the contact sync vulnerability. Private information was most certainly breached. Facebook must be pushed on its subterfuge, when it knew what when.
Wow. @intdc explains how Facebook silently changing its confusing privacy settings set the stage for this catastrophic leak by making it too difficult to realize the difference between the visibility of your phone number vs. lookup by phone number. Cambridge Analytica déjà vu.
Sorry I mis-tagged. meant @intidc ↑ — Defaults matter. Growth hacking just means more hacking down the road. Facebook is misrepresenting the issue of stolen data, again, just like Cambridge Analytica.
Potential GDPR violations by Facebook on breach notifications says @NicholasVinocur and Irish DPC seems to be on to them concurs @lilyhnewman noting much lawyering around defining the word “breach” and “scrape” to red-herring the vulnerability in the contact uploader says @ashk4n
Facebook revealed non-public information. Case closed. Don’t let them spin this with gas lighting you on hack, breach, leak, nonsense.
I have to go teach my @darkdata class now so can’t keep listening but folks should be livetweeting this because it’s explosive. twitter.com/i/spaces/1RDxl…
