It also came out this week, that if you use a smartphone to register for 2 factor authentication, they also pass the phone number onto advertisers!

Which makes me glad I've never given Facebook my number and why I don't use their app.

The figure has now risen to around 90 million, according to an updated statement from Facebook's CIO, although every Facebook account was exposed for the 14 month period, so some "luck" there, that it wasn't worse.

Following an afternoon press conference, it emerged that Zuckerberg and chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg's Facebook accounts were among those hacked. Also, it was confirmed it was possible to use the swiped access tokens to log into connected apps and websites that used Facebook to authenticate the hacked users... oops!
