Mine continues: Additionally, the attackers also accessed other account information, including: - The following information associated with your Facebook account: - Username. - Date of birth. - Gender. - Types of the devices you've used to access Facebook. - The language you choose to use Facebook in. - If you previously added this specific information to your Facebook account, it was also accessed: - Relationship status. - Religion. - Hometown. - Current city. - Work. - Education. - Website. - The 10 most recent locations you've checked in to or been tagged in. These locations are determined by the places named in the posts, such as a landmark or restaurant, not location data from a device. - The 15 most recent searches you've entered into the Facebook search bar. - People or Pages you follow on Facebook.

  Had the same list as you, I was just happy it did not mention Messenger since that would be accessing truly private data. The data you listed is semi-public in my case.

  There's lots of "verification" data there, and lots of info to make convincing phishing attempts. That's serious juju. Like if I say "I'm calling from Samsung about your SMA500FU, phone number #####, ..." that gives me a lot of trust for a phish. I wonder, say, how many phones I could get by mailing people an envelope saying their phone was at risk of exploding, sending corresponding texts, etc..
