How to check if your phone number, email are in the Facebook data leak

So recently, it was revealed that the folks over at Facebook have been given a bloody nose.

Sadly, them getting a bloody nose also means you could potentially get one.

553 million users were affected and their information dumped onto the internet the other day. Facebook says the breach is historic so perhaps there is something to be taken from that.

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg had his phone number, location, marriage details, date of birth, and Facebook user ID all leaked. By the way, his phone number is associated with the Signal App according to Twitter user Dave Walker. Funny of course because he owns WhatsApp and there is that whole security drama around it at the moment.

So there are a few websites who have shown a way to check to see if you have been affected by the data breach.

Now, be careful because we cannot vouch for whether they will spam number or email address over the next number of days.

The two sites we have come across, which are pretty easy to use, are:

• https://haveibeenpwned.com/
• https://cybernews.com/personal-data-leak-check/

Best of luck kids.
