Facebook is looking at spammers as being the culprits behind its recently disclosed mega-breach, The Wall Street Journal reports. Preliminary findings suggest that the attackers were not affiliated with a nation-state, but rather part of a known spam ring, the newspaper reports. Facebook has said it’s working with the FBI as part of its criminal probe into the breach. On Friday, Facebook revised its estimate of the number of breach victims downward to 30 million.
