As per a report indicated by Motherboard, somebody has gotten their hands on a data set loaded with Facebook users' mobile numbers and is presently selling that information via Telegram bot. The security analyst has been discovered this fault, Alon Gal, stated that the individual who runs the bot is claiming to have the data of 533 million users, which came from a Facebook fault that was fixed in 2019.

Number of agreements, some measure of specialized expertise is needed to trace any valuable information. Also, there regularly must be a union between the person with the data set and the one who attempts to receive data in return, as the database's "owner" won't simply give another person all that important information. Creating a Telegram bot, despite, both of the issues are being solved.

As per the Motherboard report, the bot permits somebody to complete 2 things: on the off chance that they have an individual's Facebook user ID, they can find his mobile number. However, obviously, really gaining access to the data you're searching for costs cash — opening a snatch of data, similar to a mobile number or Facebook ID, costs one credit, which the individual behind the bot is selling for $20. There's a similar group evaluating nearby, with 10,000 credits selling for $5,000.

The bot has been running since in any event January 12, 2021, as per screen captures posted by Gal; however, the information it gives access to is from 2019. That is quite old, yet they (individual) don't change mobile numbers that frequently. It's mainly shameful for Facebook as it generally gathered mobile numbers from individuals including the users who were turning on two-factor verification.

Right now it's unclear if Motherboard or security specialists have reached Telegram to attempt to get the bot brings down. However, the information is still out there on the web, and it's restored two or several times since it was at first spoiled in 2019. I'm simply trusting that the simple access will be cut off.
