In September, a group of hackers used a Facebook vulnerability to gain access to millions of accounts. Now the company has said how many attackers hacked accounts and what data were in their hands. It is also an opportunity to check whether among your compromised accounts.

Were attacked 29 million accounts, not 50 million as initially expected. To check your profile, go to special page Facebook reference center and scroll down to blue field. In it, or below it will display all the necessary information - though not in Russian.

And here is an example of the message, which states that account hacked:

This states that hackers know the profile name, email address and phone number, but do not gain access to passwords and information about bank cards.

At 15 million users were stolen, only the data about the name, mailbox and telephone number. The remaining 14 million - more and more information, including gender, religious affiliation, location, device data, your favorite pages and places in which they were awarded.

Facebook has not found evidence that hackers have started to distribute or to use the stolen data. hacking investigation continues, it involved the FBI.
