According to Business Insider, data for 533 million accounts was leaked, including info like phone numbers, birthdates, and email addresses. About 32 million of the hacked accounts were from the U.S.
Facebook has not yet publicly responded to reports of the hack. The company has vowed in recent years to tighten up security following scandals like the 2016 Cambridge Analytica case.
