Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg today revealed that even 2,2 billion users of the social network should assume their data has been stolen from third parties.
The source of this vulnerability is the function searchς του Facebook, η οποία επιτρέπει σε οποιονδήποτε να αναζητήσει τους χρήστες μέσω της addresstheir email or phone numbers. 
Users will have to allow it, through a selection that indicates the appearance of names in searches. The security settings for this option are enabled by default.
In a publication in the blog by CTO Mike Schroepfer, Facebook suggests the magnitude of the problem:
However, maliciousThird parties have abused these functions to link them information public profile by submitting the phone numbers or email addresses they already have through account search and retrieval. Given the scale and complexity of the activity we've seen, we believe most profile information has been leaked this way.
Zuckerberg confirmed how exposed Facebook had been to his users, to questions made to him by journalists according to TNW:
I will assume that if you had this setting turned on someone might have access to your public information somehow.
Mr. Mark Zuckerberg also stated that he feels responsible for the errors της εταιρείας του αλλά όταν ρωτήθηκε αν εξακολουθούσε να θεωρεί τον εαυτό του σαν το καλύτερο άτομο που μπορεί να διευθύνει την εταιρεία, είπε: "Ναι."
