Facebook's data breach affected 300,000 users - report
Turkey’s Personal Data Protection Authority (KVKK) has fined social media giant #Facebook some $270 thousand for a data #breach last year that reportedly affected around 300,000 users across the country.
The decision to fine Facebook a total of 1.65 million lira over the breach was taken in April, the KVKK said Friday. The breach itself occurred back in September 2018, and for 12 days third-party applications were able to access photos of the users due to an “API bug.”
Some 300,000 Facebook users in Turkey might have been affected by the bug, according to the watchdog. Facebook itself acknowledged the issue back in December.
