| >500m Facebook records were leaked and <10m records have an email
| address -- far more records are phone number but no email.

| No interest in seeing other people's info, but I want to know

| The pastebin with the links got taken down, although

| AFAIK it was publicly scraped data combined with the
| exploit to get phone numbers[1]. If you didn't have a
| public profile you're probably safe.

| HaveIBeenPwned's interest.

| Kind of a shitpost:

| Anyone read the post title as "HaveLBeenPwned", like Havel from
| Dark Souls? Who often pwned you the first time around...
