One of the Keynote themes is usually focused on the mobile device securityWe will surely see news about it in the next Keynote on September 10. And it is that every time we store more data on the network, and it becomes more and more difficult to protect them.
Of course, companies like Apple cannot guarantee what others do with our data, but what happens on our iPhone or iPad. Social networks like Facebook also face this challenge and unfortunately they often have problems in this regard. And yes, it has happened again with Facebook ... The figure is worrying: 419 million phones nothing more and nothing less would be the numbers that have been leaked of the famous social network. After the jump we give you more details about this worrying news.
The good part, if you are in Spain, and you have your accounts updated with the new security options, your phone numbers should be safe… It should, and I say this because apparently the leak alone (if it can be said alone) would have affected accounts of United States, United Kingdom, and Vietnam. Specifically 133 million records in the United States, 18 million in our neighboring United Kingdom, and 50 million in Vietnam, the rest would be accounts without a specific country. The boys from TechCrunch who would have crossed phone number data with social network IDs.
More trouble for Facebook. Something similar already happened in early 2019 when about 540 million records were leaked, now this. What can we do about it? attempt keep our accounts active and updatedAt the end they are releasing security updates that advise us to change the password and update the security options. A problem, that of digital security, which is becoming more and more complicated, and every time we have to pay a higher price for having our data on the network. You know: there is nothing for free as much as it may seem ...
