How to find out if your personal data has also been leaked on Facebook

A short time ago, we informed you in our magazine that Facebook had leaked the data of more than 500 million of its users. If you are one of the users of this social network, it is quite possible that your personal data has also been leaked. Officially, of course, Facebook will not disclose in any way the exact information about what data has been leaked, but luckily there is an option with which you can detect the leakage of your personal data quickly and easily.

The current data breach is neither the first nor the last in history. It has become such a tradition that as soon as one massive data breach is forgotten, another one suddenly appears. The procedure for solving this problem is very simple for a particular technology giant - pay a large fine and suddenly everything is fine. So the users themselves have to deal with the biggest damage, without any compensation. If you would like to find out if your personal data has been leaked directly, just go to the site haveibeenpwned.com. This is a comprehensive database in which you can check whether your personal data has become part of massive leaks. On the page, you simply need to enter your e-mail address or telephone number (with area code) that you use on the Internet in the text field. After that, all you have to do is wait for the verdict with your nails bitten. You don't have to worry in any way that this site might collect any user data.

If according to haveibeenpwned.com your personal data has not been leaked, then you are very lucky. As part of the last mentioned leak, the data of more than 1 million Czechs also got "out". If, on the other hand, the site reported to you that there was a data leak, you should be on your guard. In most cases, it is enough to change your access data, ideally on all important social networks and portals. Potential hackers may try to log into your accounts based on the leaked data. In the worst case, the leaked data can be misused, for example to prepare some kind of fraud that can be applied to your loved ones. We therefore recommend informing all your loved ones that your personal data has been leaked in order to avoid any problems.
