500 Million Facebook Users Records Unbelievably End Up on Amazon Servers
• https://www.ccn.comBy CCN.com: Facebook's clumsy handling of its users' data has reached the WTF level.
The latest reveal came from cybersecurity firm UpGuard. In a cleverly titled report called "Losing Face: Two More Cases of Third-Party Facebook App Data Exposure" the firm pointed out how Facebook continues to screw up when it comes to user records.
"The UpGuard Cyber Risk team can now report that two more third-party developed Facebook app datasets have been found exposed to the public internet."
It found that half of a billion records of Facebook users wound up on Amazon's cloud computing servers.
