Mark Zuckerberg's phone number appeared among the leaked data of Facebook users
- readflaggedcomm 6y agoIf this were a game of intrigue, it would provide plausible deniability for anybody who got caught with his contacts. Would have been fun to include that in the article.
- lsllc 6y agoI've never been an FB "person", but maybe 6-7 years ago the local running club moved to scheduling everything on FB. For a while, the page was "public", but then you had to have an account (which required a phone number) to see anything other than the club's "landing page". So I ended up making an FB account which I've only ever used to be able to see the club pages (I haven't ever posted anything!) -- dumb of me I know, but FB had almost become a requirement to participate in life. However recently, I've noticed that I now get a couple of junk text every day or two whereas up until a few weeks ago, I don't think I'd ever had a single junk text. I wonder if this is why.
- whatever_dude 6y agoYou should disable apps api on your profile.
- rantwasp 6y agoyeah no. FB is not a requirement to participate in life. never was, never will be. i would say FB is a requirement for feeling inadequate and for developing mental health problems early in life. LE: going full stallman on this one: https://stallman.org/facebook.html https://stallman.org/facebook.html read it and tell me i’m crazy
- tester756 6y agoUnfortunely without FB studying (attending) would be 10 times harder.
- rantwasp 6y agois it harder? maybe. is it a requirement? nah
- tester756 6y agoat some point of the increased difficulty it becomes a requirement.
- rantwasp 6y agoit does not. FB becoming a requirement is such a 1st world problem. Try living without clean water and come back to lecture me about “increased difficulty”
- tester756 6y agoholy shit dude yea, water is required to live, facebook is required to get degree times easier in my example, those aren't mutually excluisive what do you want to argue here about, except just arguing for the sake of arguing? I don't like fb, I don't use it when I don't have to and after graduation I'm probably not going to use it more often than once a X months, but I had to have & sometimes use it unless I wanted to make my life harder - I don't like it, but that's the reality.
- rantwasp 6y agoI am not arguing with you. I am pointing out FB is a POS and that it should not be required. Period. Anything that uses FB as a way of keeping people informed should use at least another channel to disseminate that information, preferably not tied to big corporations.
- tester756 6y ago>should use at least another channel how are you going to convince $whole_group_of_students_of_given_year to move communication off the facebook?
- Blikkentrekker 6y agoThere is no objective definition of “participating in life”. What quibble of semantics.
- H_Pylori 6y agoAre shoes really a requirement to partecipate in society?
- Forge36 6y agoA friend of mine successfully quit for years. He moved to a small town recently made a new account because "small towns apparently run on Facebook". While but true for everyone it's true in some places
- rantwasp 6y agosome places require you to be a hardcore christian and a white supremacist. Are those places the best examples?
- Forge36 6y agoThose don't discount Facebook being required. Fortunately this place didn't require hardcore christianity. (I'm hopeful it's not filled with white supremacists, time will tell)
- rantwasp 6y agomy point was that just because something is "required" does not mean you have to do it or agree with it. especially if you believe it's wrong.
- CameronNemo 6y agoMy RA at uni used Facebook to coordinate floor wide games and events. Several on campus organizations exclusively used Facebook to inform people of events. FB was not a requirement for attending uni, but it was a requirement for being fully involved on my campus.
- rantwasp 6y agosounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen if you ask me. How is uni tied to a crappy corporation? i’m gonna bet you real money that 1) either they had multiple channels (ie you didn’t really need FB) or 2) they will pay legal fees through their noses once the shit hits the proverbial fan.
- johannes1234321 6y agoThere are cases where there might be a basis for a lawsuit (some professor at a public university hiding in Facebook) But for the way the student leaning group organizes or the restaurant down the road takes reservation or what medium is used by the parents of my child's school class to discuss things is not a legal concern.
- barbazoo 6y ago> games and events Not tied to uni but virtually mandatory to participate in social events. Sure you can just say to simply opt out but then it might be more difficult to socialize.
- nradov 6y agoThere's no basis for such a lawsuit. You might not like it but they're not breaking the law.
- rantwasp 6y agohmm. i’m not sure that’s true. a university has more things to consider than just “can we use this app?”
- baby 6y ago> However recently, I've noticed that I now get a couple of junk text every day or two whereas up until a few weeks ago, I don't think I'd ever had a single junk text. I think this is a symptom of living in the US. Been receiving robocalls and text messages all the time since I moved here.
- dylan604 6y agoYou also have to consider that someone somewhere probably had your phone number before you did. There's no telling what the previous person did with that number.
- screamingninja 6y ago> I think this is a symptom of living in the US. Been receiving robocalls and text messages all the time since I moved here. Consider signing up for the Do Not Call registry. Does not do much against the scammers but you will receive significantly fewer telemarketing calls. https://www.donotcall.gov/ https://www.donotcall.gov/
- frongpik 6y agoI can tell you why. It's because you gave FB your personal phone number, while any number would work, e.g. a prepaid sim card (a one time 15 bucks expense).
- Guest42 6y agoI did some research and it seemed as though the companies would auto-renew and make it incredibly tough to close the accounts. I wouldn’t be surprised if some went so far as to send people to collections for “fees”.
- frongpik 6y agoYou don't need to give your ID or sign up for auto renewal.
- koolba 6y agoThere’s no auto renewal, contract, or collections for a prepaid sim. In most states you don’t even show ID to get one. Just give whatever name you’d like on the caller ID and pay the first month.
- Guest42 6y agoCan you show me an example of one that can be purchased online? I didn't notice any on Amazon when I looked. (for curiosity's sake)
- chiph 6y agoThe cost of sending texts has gone to effectively zero, so there's no barrier to someone sending one to all the numbers in sequence. At least, until the phone company catches on and blocks you. The one I got late last night was pretending to be from the US Postal Service, prompting me to click on an anonymous link in order to "rescedule delivery"
- dillondoyle 6y agoGoing to get worse SCOTUS just ruled saying a very strict reading definition on robocall to be only random or sequential numbers. So if you already have a list say bought from a 3rd party company of all the phones in the US sounds like you can bulk send now no repercussions. In my field - politics - campaigns use tools like Hustle which are basically mechanical turk clickers to get around these rules. I'm thinking personally this will change...
- nradov 6y agoHave you actually read the whole SCOTUS decision? Because that's not at all what it said.
- URSpider94 6y agoI haven’t seen a clear analysis of the decision’s impact. I’ve read it, it’s quite brief. As I understand it, this decision essentially guts the blanket prohibition on spam text messages to cell phones. The rest of the law refers to restrictions on calls to “residential” phone lines, which does not include cell phones, so it’s not clear that there are any other limitations on texts to cell phones - do you see it differently? This brings up the side issue that the act doesn’t ever mention text messages at all ... everyone has interpreted them to be covered as if they were phone calls, but that’s never been tested at the Supreme Court level.
- sgerenser 6y agoThe decision was unanimous and is really the only possible conclusion from a plain reading of the law. The court didn’t “gut” anything, it’s just a bad law. It’s up to Congress to enact a law that says what they actually want the law to do.
- sneak 6y agoIt’s antisocial to demand someone submit to surveillance capitalism to participate in a club or a friendship. Complain loudly, and delete your fb account. Be a nuisance about it at club meetups. Caving just makes it worse for the next guy.
- grumple 6y agoI have also noticed this the past couple weeks. I don’t think it’s related to Facebook- I deleted my Facebook account before 2019. However, I’ve also recently had discussions with Twilio (all of the below is non-confidential information according to our conversation): The carriers are cracking down on sms spam. They are going to force registration of all businesses sending texts, not just with services like Twilio, but with them. And prices / rent-seeking from the carriers is going up - they are going to charge for each campaign/brand you run. So in the end you’ll see less spam, but texting will also cost more for companies that send them. The initial rollout by AT&T was supposed to start 5/1, though that’s now been pushed back. Spammers are likely in their death throes, trying to get their last spam out before they get shut down or priced out.
- jrockway 6y agoI get an infinite amount of spam texts and I don't have a Facebook account. (I did have one in college when it first came out, but I don't think I gave them my phone number, and if I did, that phone number is no longer in use. I switch phone numbers every time I switch cell providers.)
- ordx 6y agoFacebook still may have your phone number if a business uploaded your phone number for targeting.
- jrockway 6y agoI'm sure they have plenty of information on me. I doubt that it is the primary source of spam texts, that's all I'm saying. Many of my spam texts seem to know what state I'm in despite my area code being assigned to a different state, so I'm guessing they get them from voter records, political donations, that sort of thing.
- andi999 6y agoUsing WhatsApp?
- jrockway 6y agoNope. It's not really a thing in the US.
- misiti3780 6y agoI have been getting a lot of spam texts and also an unusually large spam calls from the social security administration. I tell teh guy/gal on the line every time to quit calling me because they are wasting their time and i know it's a scam, they keep calling...
- null_deref 6y agoI don't think the little guy that's calling you cares that much, or that the organization that runs the call center is organizaed well enough to receive a piece of information from the bottom end employee and act on it.
- anticristi 6y agoI feel your pain. Getting announcements from my local skating club is the only reason why I keep my FB account. :(
- rogerdickey 6y agoWhy are so many HN users against Facebook, and quick to reassure others that they only signed up out of necessity? FB & Instagram present a perfectly acceptable entertainment vs privacy trade off. Sure, it’s also a waste of time, but so is everything else you don’t like.
- Hydraulix989 6y agoThis is a valid contrarian take.
- wizzwizz4 6y agoFacebook knows where you live, where you shop, who you meet, what you say, what you buy, where you go – perhaps when you wake and sleep –… and in exchange, you get some chat rooms, a MySpace page, advertised at, and to be a non-consensual subject in psychological experiments. (Libel notice: they might not do the last one much any more.)
- rogerdickey 6y agoMost of this happens if you 1) sign up for FB 2) install their app. If you don't do both of these things they can't track you, right?
- sneak 6y agoUnfortunately this is not true.
- deleted 6y ago[deleted]
- SturgeonsLaw 6y agoJust loading a page that has the embedded Facebook Like button generates data points on you regarding your browsing and purchase history. I'm not sure if they can/do read the contents of a checkout form, but it would be simple to infer coarse location and strong identity from that.
- 1vuio0pswjnm7 6y agoTo get an account on Facebook, one can use an email address to sign up (no phone number), and if the email address later becomes invalid, the Facebook account still remains viable. As such, a "disposable" email address should work for the purpose of obtaining a Facebook account. One need never log in to the "throwaway" email account ever again after the Facebook account is established. If one really wanted to use a phone number for sign up, a disposable number such as a "burner" phone should work.
- hansvm 6y agoPrepaid burner numbers don't work, only postpaid. What does the email-only flow look like? Every time I've tried that I've been redirected to various kinds of "additional authorization" or "proof of identity" barriers and haven't been able to find a flow around them.
- 1vuio0pswjnm7 6y agoNot sure what the sign up flow looks like today. What I know is that in the past students created Facebook accounts^1 using their student email accounts. They graduated, the student email accounts were deleted, but their Facebook accounts continue to work today, even though they never updated their email addresses with Facebook or added phone numbers. 1. The website was originally created for students and sign up used to require a university email address.
- tyingq 6y agoI feel for the person who gets that number next once it's recycled.
- Scoundreller 6y agoI’ll take it. “Thank you for calling the executive office complaint line. To file a priority incident at the cost of $99, enter your visa/MasterCard number now”
- fnord77 6y agoI look forward to your medium post about what it is like in prison.
- Scoundreller 6y agoYou can’t stop someone that wants to pay to file a complaint.
- lstamour 6y agoPretty sure you’ll get shut down by the networks due to chargebacks… unless you have a quick “press 9 for a refund…”
- Scoundreller 6y agoIunno, someone that thinks they’re getting somewhere by calling Zuck directly may not know what a chargeback is. I know Congress has tried calling upon him and just gave up.
- unstatusthequo 6y agoHe is providing a service to pass complaints on to Facebook. Consideration for value received. What’s illegal about that?

- mcraiha 6y agoAt least Mark is dogfooding.
- ben509 6y agoThere's a good discussion on this by Troy Hunt[1]. > But for spam based on using phone number alone, it's gold. Not just SMS, there are heaps of services that just require a phone number these days and now there's hundreds of millions of them conveniently categorised by country with nice mail merge fields like name and gender.[2] > Another general observation on this incident: I'm seeing extensive sharing of the data, both the entire corpus of countries and individual country files. Not just in hacking circles, but very broadly on social media too. This data is everywhere already.[3] > New breach: Facebook had 2.5M addresses exposed in an incident that impacted 533M subscribers' phone numbers. Most records contained name and gender, many also included DoB, location, relationship status and employer. 65% were already in @haveibeenpwned[4] > If we look at the data, email is rare, DoB is rare so the greatest impact here is the phone numbers. Even though it’s “only” 20% of FB users, the number is obviously substantial thus so is the impact[5] [1]: https://twitter.com/troyhunt https://twitter.com/troyhunt [2]: https://twitter.com/troyhunt/status/1378485999781613569 https://twitter.com/troyhunt/status/1378485999781613569 [3]: https://twitter.com/troyhunt/status/1378513457209696256 https://twitter.com/troyhunt/status/1378513457209696256 [4]: https://twitter.com/haveibeenpwned/status/1378554902100635659 https://twitter.com/haveibeenpwned/status/137855490210063565...

- randyrand 6y agokarma for who? The people who trusted FB?
- clankyclanker 6y agoTo put this in perspective, Faceboook just leaked information about, at most, 1 in every 15 people, in the world. (Less, depending on the number of folks with multiple accounts, which FB seems to try to prevent?)
- 0x4d464d48 6y agoNot sure if you're trying to minimize the impact or draw attention to its severity but that is a colossal number.
- seesawtron 6y agoThis post is a nice way to put this number into perspective. https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/mjufnx/if_all_533_million_compromised_facebook_accounts/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/mjufnx/if_...

- johannes1234321 6y agoYou must observe the competition and maybe he doesn't want his employees to be able to see what he is doing :-D
- bellyfullofbac 6y agoWhat a useless screenshot. Sure if we believe him then he actually added Zuck's number into his address book and he got this notification from Signal. But if I want to doctor a screenshot like this, I can rename my non-Signal-using friend in my address book to "Zuck", and make my friend install Signal, and voila, "Zuck is now using Signal"...
- milansuk 6y agoI'm not on Facebook for 2years, but I'm thinking about downloading the database just to see If I'm in it. I don't care about other records. Or do I have other options to figure it out? Edit: I forgot about haveibeenpwned.com. Any info about when they will add this leak? Edit2: Haveibeenpwned added 2.5 million email addresses. But it's possible that my record doesn't have email.
- Jaygles 6y agoI deactivated my FB account 3-4 years ago, not deleted. For some reason I am not in this leak. At least not in the USA file.
- milansuk 6y agoThanks. I just found my backup file(exported from Facebook when I deleted the account) and it's dated September 2016, so it's actually 4.5 years. Time flies and I don't regret that decision at all!
- bart__ 6y agoThere is a torrent you can download, I used jackett to find it
- skeletonjelly 6y agoThanks to your comment I installed jackett! Pretty interesting. I only use private trackers, can you recommend a public one to add to search for this?

- banana_giraffe 6y agoNot just Zuckerberg's, but Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes are there as well. Interesting to see who has low user IDs in the dump. Also mildly entertaining to see some names that are probably test accounts now associated with Facebook people in Google as people try to see who they are.

- oliv__ 6y agoSooo... what's the number? :-)
- sva_ 6y agoOne could find the first half of it starting on the 14083rd digit of π, and the second half starting on the 60435th digit of π.
- coolspot 6y agoSpeaking of halves... If you half the number, it would be just 453,223,693 more than world population as of March 2020 according to Wikipedia’s article “World Population”.
- ddevault 6y agoThis is why I call for zero-knowledge information exchange, decentralization, and genuine end-to-end encryption. The most secure data is data you don't have, and any company which claims to store data "securely" is grossly irresponsible. Even the world's largest tech companies with access to truly staggering engineering budgets can and will leak your data. It's not if: it's when. We need to regulate this.
- poundofshrimp 6y agoI’m curious to see if existing regulation in this regard has been effective. I know there is HIPAA, but does it actually reduce data leaks in the Health Care field?
- bezoz 6y agoMaybe Mark Zuckerberg can sue Facebook, get a handsome reward and just put it back in the company, so it all evens out in the end?
- reitanqild 6y agoSomeone (or a script) flagged Ronson who had posted direct links. I only tested the Norway link in his post but that was legit. (I first verified with Virustotal and then thought twice before opening the zip file.)
- angrais 6y agoI'm confused ... You downloaded the zip file? That's just as bad (legally) as unzipping it.
- reitanqild 6y agoIt's called research. I need to know what I need to protect my family and in-laws against this time. Edit: - yes, I also immediately downloaded the "manifesto" of the mad bomber in Norway ten years ago, not because I admired him but because I despised him. - Troy Hunt keeps downloading data sets with peoples personal details (logins even) and is not getting into any kind of newsworthy trouble. There are things you should be very careful with, both in physics (don't hoard fissil material), chemistry (same with various poisons), biology (don't try to get hold of smallpox etc) - and data science (certain images are forbidden for what I think is good reasons), but I don't expect police to show up on my door because I have downloaded a publicly available data set and grepped relevant names from it and then forwarded the relevant lines to the ones I found. Edit 2: I also had a copy of MyDoom somewhere, I think on a disk that is broken now. Never got in trouble for that either despite telling people. Maybe don't say it online under an identity that is strongly linked to a piece of meat that might be put punished ;-)
- angrais 6y agoDownloading illegal data is not research, particularly if you're not a security researcher. Research has ethical boards for exactly this reason. Those certain images you described are publicly available too. That doesn't make downloading them _legal_. The fact is you've a dataset containing personal data of millions of people is obviously illegal -- why this didn't raise red flags in your mind is curious. Edit: I'd certainly not expect police to kick your door in either, much like if you pirated a movie. My point is: be careful.
- viraptor 6y agoYou can find him on Signal now https://mobile.twitter.com/Daviey/status/1378645798439768064 https://mobile.twitter.com/Daviey/status/1378645798439768064
- BurningFrog 6y agoThe 10 digit number space is completely filled up, so you can just call/text numbers at random and be almost sure it reaches someone. So I think it's time to use UUIDs instead. They're hard to type, but you hardly ever need that. What am I missing?
- yuliyp 6y agoWW91IGFyZW4ndCBtaXNzaW5nIGFueXRoaW5nLiBJdHMg cGVyZmVjdGx5IG5vcm1hbCBmb3IgaWRlbnRpZmllcnMg d2hpY2ggbWF5IG5lZWQgdG8gYmUgcmVhZC93cml0dGVuI HRvIGxvb2sgbGlrZSBnaWJiZXJpc2gu UUIDs are horrible. While a computer doesn't really care about the way an identifier looks, humans sometimes do need to look at them and operate on them (compare them, transcribe them, dictate them, recognize them).
- nyanpasu64 6y agoUUIDs are a lot shorter than the gibberish you typed: 604a6a34-6d33-4148-8e75-6aee31b0d963 It is true that it's difficult to compare and transcribe.
- iib 6y agoWhen I opened this post, I saw it was much wider than any post I have seen on hackernews. I tried looking into the css, I thought it was somehow different, for whatever reason. I could not find anything and then I encountered your comment. Apparently, your unbreakable long word makes the site very wide. I didn't know comments can affect how wide the page borders are. Is this not bad UI? I am unsure who to ask.
- asadhaider 6y ago@dang There is a contact link in the footer too, you know. But yeah, seems like bad UI. I would have thought overflow-wrap would be set on posts.

- shoeshoeshoey 6y agoThe data is missing some people like former Facebook executive Jay Parikh. One possibility: they never put in a phone number into their Facebook account.
- bArray 6y agoJust putting this out there - I still haven't received any kind of message from Facebook about the breach... I'm pretty sure in some Countries they have an obligation to notify users.
- lionkor 6y agoin the EU, you have to notify your users about their data being compromised, otherwise you risk being sued for a LOT. Not facebook-hurting amounts, but not nothing.
- galaxyLogic 6y agoI don't much care about my phone-number being leaked. Why because I don't answer my phone, unless I know who is calling. I do get lots of spam calls every day but thanks to my smart-phone spam-calls can be blocked. And if the hackers want to steal my identity, they cannot answer my phone and thus pretend to be me, can they? Remember all phone-numbers used to be in a public book called "Phone Book".
- AI_WAIFU 6y ago> they cannot answer my phone and thus pretend to be me, can they? Yes they can, they can totally do that and if they do you're screwed. https://www.theverge.com/2021/3/15/22332315/sms-redirect-flaw-exploit-text-message-hijacking-hacking https://www.theverge.com/2021/3/15/22332315/sms-redirect-fla...
- galaxyLogic 6y agoInteresting. But isn't this more like something (re-routing of text-messages) that happens inside compromised telecom service-provider? If they can hack the telecom-provider they don't need to get my phone-number from Facebook.
- eslaught 6y agoI haven't read the article in detail, but I think the point is some versions of this attack can be carried out by pure social engineering. Go into a store, claim to be you, talk your way out of giving ID, then get a new SIM card associated with your number and walk out with it. In this case, name+number is indeed helpful info for the attack since it doesn't involve any actual "hacking" in the computer security sense.

- heletoto 6y agoI can say that this is interesting; the founder of Facebook itself is a victim of a leaked data. I wonder how much would it cost to buy Mark Zuckerberg's phone number?
