Leaks of user data have become common on Facebook. Since the social network has once again had a problem of this type.

Data of 540 million Facebook users leaked

The story does not really present any news. Since it is something that has happened several times in the last two years on the social network. Apps that have access to this information without any limitation.

New bug on Facebook

Among the data of the users that have been compromised we have likes, messages, comments, account name and many others. All this information of the users of the social network was stored in a cloud, created by a third-party app that had access to it. It is a situation similar to others that the social network has experienced in these past two years.

So probably for many users it is like reading the same news again. It was not mentioned whether the emails and passwords of these users were also exposed. Although many recommend changing the password, as a precaution.

Security and privacy issues on Facebook are nothing new. But it seems that scandals do not leave the social network, which chains one problem after another. Therefore, there will surely be a similar situation soon with user data. Since these failures are repeated constantly, without taking measures that really help.
