Not sure what’s going on but it says my number is not part of the leak, but I’ve checked myself and it is actually leaked. Just be aware that it may not be complete.
Same, for a contact's number (I'm checking on their behalf). It shows up in the raw dump [1] but not this site. [1] https://archive.is/MZqak
I deleted my (outdated) phone number from facebook years ago and it's still part of the leak, with my name and gender in it. I did not replace the phone number with another phone number. Really says something about what delete means for fb.
How many years ago did you delete your phone number? This is not a recent dump of data, it is just recently been made more widely available. I believe the original leak was some time in 2019.

I understand the frustration but they have the data and hence, a rainbow table, sending a pre-hashed phone number is the same as sending an unhashed one, unless the worry is man in the middle, who is just as likely to get the data. The only way to check without giving up personal info is to get the data and look locally, or perhaps search for so many phone numbers that yours is buried in the haystack.
That only holds for numbers already part of the dump. If you submit an unknown phone number that is not contained in the leak, hashing it before sending it will increase data privacy.
(Assuming seeing hacked numbers are public already - but I don’t love this either)
What’s a secure way of searching without disclosure by either party? (Non troll question)

maybe this website isn't even legit and just about harvesting phone numbers. I mean - who knows?
We can be pretty sure the results are legit but yes of course it could be running malicious code and stealing phone numbers. Check the raw data if you are worried[2].

So a rainbow table of just 2.9 billion numbers covers the USA phone set. So I think searching for a specific number clear or hashed are roughly similar exposures. Maybe the right way to search without disclosure is really to filter. Meaning instead of putting in your full 10 digits. You just put in 7/8 and it returns a list of the rest for you to see. Then you visually scan to find your number out of the returned 999…
Download the original data set. US records are around a GB file.

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?
The leak doesn’t provide much. The backlash of sending an email will instantly be way worse than what was actually leaked. Far worse leaks happen routinely from big names. However Facebook’s negative reputation would sway so far against it, you’d think Facebook had doxxed every one. I don’t particularly like Facebook or any big corporation FYI.
Interestingly my phone number seems to have been exposed but not my e-mail address. I don't recall providing my phone number to Facebook although I do recall explicitly being asked to. I do however use WhatsApp. I wonder if there's more to this.

Interesting that Australia seems to be completely missing

Zuck: Yeah so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard Zuck: Just ask. Zuck: I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS [Redacted Friend's Name]: What? How'd you manage that one? Zuck: People just submitted it. Zuck: I don't know why. Zuck: They "trust me" Zuck: Dumb f**s.
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…
This idea sounds uncannily familiar for anyone from the former Soviet bloc.
