Furthermore, the hacker has divided the price of the data into three parts, for instance, $1500 per million, $450 per 100,000, and $30,000 for 500 million for the entire database. The listing also states that the information in the database was stolen between November 2019 to May 2020.

So far it is unclear if the database has got any seller at all. However, it is worth noting that Hackread.com strictly stands against selling or buying user data. 

The sample data seen by Hackread.com suggests that the database has been stolen from a misconfigured database or bought from a third-party marketing firm.

Remember, third-party firms can use data scrapping, a fairly common practice to extract the personal information of users from websites like Facebook or Twitter.
 
Facebook in particular allows users to access third-party websites by using their existing Facebook login information. This information can be accessed by cybercriminals in case proper security measures are not implemented. For instance, malicious elements can use ‘scraper bots’ to extract private information anonymously.
Nevertheless, the victims of the breach are yet again unsuspecting Facebook users who are now open to phishing scams, smishing attacks (SMS phishing), and identity theft using publically available photos on their profiles, etc.
 
If you are on Facebook, make sure to limit the information you share with the public. Also, keep your personal photos only accessible to those in your friend lists rather than public. Or you can simply learn how to permanently delete your Facebook account.


I already have this leak. I give it for free. If anyone want it dm me. Hackerman
