Again, that fun and FREE! social media thingy really isn’t either.

540 million Facebook user records compromised.

Researchers at the cybersecurity firm UpGuard on Wednesday said they had discovered the existence of two datasets together containing the personal data of hundreds of millions of Facebook users. Both were left publicly accessible.

In a blog post, UpGuard connected one of the leaky databases to a Mexico-based media company called Cultura Colectiva. The data set reportedly contains over 146 GB of data, which amounts to over 540 million Facebook user records, including comments, likes, reactions, account names, Facebook user IDs, and more.

Knowing what we know about Mr. Suckerberg, how likely is it that this data was custom picked and then sold? I’d say more likely than not.

Yet and still … people are on FB. The Headmaster over at TPC just admitted he’s thinking about “life after Facebook.” And, he’s a forward thinker of the bigger thoughts. I’m starting to think about life after the internet. In my dreams, I begin to envision life after electricity. Pleasant dreams too. It beats the reality of having your life show up on the auction block in Mexico.

Get. Out. Now.
