#2Guess it's too hard to notify users that their information got leaked. I hope they reported to all the different institutions in Europe though. The article suggests they didn't even report it to the Ireland one!

#3I am surprised how the Facebook stock is pretty unaffected by all of this.

#4It's from 2019 is the stupid excuse they have.

They general guideline in the GDPR is 72 hours.
> In the case of a personal data breach, the controller shall without undue delay and, where feasible, not later than 72 hours after having become aware of it, notify the personal data breach to the supervisory authority competent in accordance with Article 55, unless the personal data breach is unlikely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons. Where the notification to the supervisory authority is not made within 72 hours, it shall be accompanied by reasons for the delay.

They are subsidized. Stock may not be best indication of the performance of the company.

Are you seriously claiming it's too hard? They could send out emails, Facebook messages or show some banner in the profile page.
This is Facebook ffs, they almost have a monopoly on communication.

Did they notify people about it 2019? Does GDPR, CCPA, and other similar privacy laws have a statute of limitations? [0], [1], [2]

#10This huge leak has definitely killed the SMS text messaging service. Sender can be spoofed and spam/scam/phishing have reached an intolerable level. The fact that they can cross reference you and then produce a more personalized content is huge. Changing password is easy (ok less easy if you recycle it) but changing phone number is something that I am not even relaxed to do.
