Facebook should email those affected... surely they know who was compromised or not. Shouldn't have to use random sites for this. Why has there been no communication from them?

> Why has there been no communication from them? It's not like they care even a bit. And they wouldn't win any goodwill from it. If you have been zucked, you've been zucked, that is it.

I agree they don't care about their users, but the reason there isn't a communication is more likely that they have to filter all of this through their legal team first.

My phone number is a 10-digit number, the first 3 of which are an area code. It gets spam calls and texts (though that miraculously decreased on November 4th...) as it is. Now, combined with browser fingerprinting, perhaps this site can tie my specific 10-digit number to some other aspects of who I am, but I'll leave that part as an exercise for a willing volunteer. I'm not terribly concerned about entering my phone…

Knowing the phone number doesn't mean you can get the texts that are sent to it.

I'm looking forward to the sequel, "Have I Been 'Have I Been Facebooked'ed" when it turns out this is just a data harvesting operation. If you don't want your phone number leaked don't hand it over to a random website that pinky swears it won't keep it. It's maybe not a scam, but still...

My phone number is my username. It’s not a password. It’s public.

Culture comes straight from the top. You can certainly tell that with Facebook and Zuckerberg. A good solution to this would be to put a hiring freeze on any ex-Facebooker and claim that if they can overlook Facebook's questionable practices, then they would be a danger for your company and its customers. Hold employees responsible for the actions of their employer. You could institute a "two year freeze" for any FB…

Wow, you spend really a lot of effort on virtue signaling. Should we also institute public lynching of all employees of companies that had security breaches?

This isn't about a security breach. Facebook is a horrible company and has damaged the world with its unique stances on privacy and data gathering.

> Wow, you spend really a lot of effort on virtue signaling.

By what measure?

I really don't want anyone who is willing to sacrifice their morals around personal privacy and the integrity of our democracy working for me.

If and when I do get the opportunity to hire someone from Facebook to work for me, I will ask them why they worked at Facebook, what they think of the company's ethics, and if they did anything to make the company better for the world.

Perhaps some folks check their ethics at the door when they show up for work, but ethics matter. They don't become unimportant or irrelevant choices in light of our paycheck.

Choosing to work for Facebook says a lot about a person.
