How does one know a site like this is not just an other data harvesting site?
Can someone bcrypt all these phone numbers & emails and make that public? Share the salt and then everyone can just test their own phone number without sending it to some rando
You can just iterate thru all possible phone numbers. It’s not that large, which is why anyone saying they are hashing your contacts to keep them private isn’t doing a lot of good.
An adequately hashed set can be proved to be harmless because you can't revert to real data (as far as you know when downloading). Downloading the original set could be considered malicious by some governments (but idk/ not sure ianal).
My number was leaked (checked the dump myself) but I don't show up on this site. Seems like there are some bugs to work out
Cleaning that up is a serious effort and requires operations on huge files that are very difficult for most software to deal with.
"Currently, we don't know if Facebook has fixed the vulnerability since the company hasn't released any statement regarding the breach." "This is old data that was previously reported on in 2019. We found and fixed this issue in August 2019" - FB
It seems like the creators are heading towards a libel lawsuit if they keep that up on their site.

Just enter your email and the site will tell you whether your email has been harvested by https://haveibeenfacebooked.com/
Earlier quoted context omitted.
The backlash of GDPR for not informing users may be far more severe.
Sure, but if the cost of paying the fines for that is less than the expected loss of revenue from demonstrating, directly, that you can't keep user data safe (to a global audience, not just Europe), it's rational for Facebook to take the fines (of course, arguing via their lawyers as long as possible that they shouldn't be required to pay them - lawyer bills are harder to spin as an admission of guilt). I don't like…
GDPR allows for fines of up to 4% of global revenue. Unfortunately the agencies that are supposed to enforce it are too feeble to do so.

I put up another site for that: https://haveibeenpwnedbyhaveibeenfacebookeddotcom.com Just enter your email and the site will tell you whether your email has been harvested by https://haveibeenfacebooked.com/
