Facebook has said 30 million accounts were compromised in a major hack. That’s down from the 50 million accounts the social network first estimated, but it’s still not great news.
Though Facebook has taken steps to protect users in light of the attack, the company said hackers had access to millions of people’s personal information.
It said hackers could access an abundance of user data on 14 million people, including their name, email, phone number, hometown, current city, workplace, birthday, devices used to log into Facebook, the last 10 places they checked into or were tagged in, and their 15 most recent searches.
With so much potentially sensitive data compromised, you may want to see whether yours was taken — and take action to prevent it from happening again.
Here’s how to check whether your information was compromised, as well as how to delete your Facebook account.
