I’m so confused. I intentionally refused to give my phone number to facebook and it is not set in my profile, yet my number was pwned in this facebook breach. Is FB associating or storing my number without permission? I have a different number set for 2-factor and amazingly it was not pwned!
- coatmatter 6y agoI think you may have allowed Facebook to allow other Facebook users to search for your profile via your number. Can you check my earlier comment at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26712835 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26712835 and let us know whether or not this is/was the case? > "Facebook Settings > Privacy > How people can find and contact you > Who can look you up using the phone number you provided?" Is/was it set to "Everyone"?
- chrischen 6y agoYes, but my number is not set to the one that was pwned!
