The Business Insider website revealed that the data of about 500 million users was leaked to its accounts last Saturday, and included the leak of personal information to about 533 million users on Facebook, including about 44 million Egyptian users, 3 million Jordanian users, about 4 million Libyan users, and about 1.8 Million Lebanese.

According to reports, the data that was leaked includes phone numbers, IDs, full names, locations, dates of birth, resumes, and in some cases e-mail addresses, explaining that the information is freely available on the hacking forum, making it accessible to anyone with basic data skills.

The technical site "Live Mint" called on Facebook users to be wary of systematic attacks in the coming months by people who may have obtained their phone numbers or other private data, adding, according to one of the leakers of that data. He said: They provide information on more than 500 million Facebook users, including phone numbers and other data - almost for free.

It is worth noting that the leaked database is circulated in the circles of hackers via the Internet, and its most important data is the users' phone numbers.
