Exposed Database Reveals 100K+ Compromised Facebook Accounts

Cybercriminals left an ElasticSearch database exposed, revealing a global attack that compromised Facebook accounts and used them to scam others. The database contained 13,521,774 records of at least 100,000 Facebook users. It was open between June and September of this year; it was discovered on Sept. 21 and closed Sept. 22. The data in the exposed database included credentials and IP addresses; text outlines for comments the fraudsters would make on Facebook pages (via a hacked account) that directed people to suspicious and fraudulent websites.
