Revealing account information of 41 million Vietnamese Facebook users?
Recently, a member of the R *** forums shared a dataset that was believed to contain information of 41 million Facebook users in Vietnam. These data were only shared a few hours ago.
R *** forums is a forum for hackers who post and sell hacked databases. This is also the place where the stolen information of about 2 million customers at a Vietnam Joint Stock Commercial Bank happened in 2019.
People sharing these documents have the nickname "vow". To access the said database, viewers will have to pay a fee of 8 credits (currency on the forum), equivalent to more than 50,000.
As noted by Pv. VietNamNet, after querying about 250,000 data streams, can see that the data shared on R *** forums are the personal details of a large number of Facebook accounts.
These include the basic information fields of a Facebook user. From there, viewers can know the account name, full name, date of birth, email address and Facebook ID, . of each account.
Not only that, the information schools such as hometown, workplace, study, information about family, relatives as well as the interests of Facebook account holders are also shown in detail. All this data is in unencrypted form.
Looking at the information fields, it can be seen that these are all Facebook accounts of Vietnamese users. This is because the content in it is all presented in Vietnamese. It is worth noting that this is only a small part of the huge data warehouse shared by the anonymous account holder.
It is still unknown where the hacker got the account number. The purpose of sharing this data of the account owner with the nickname "vow" is not really clear. However, these data may be extracted from Facebook's previously leaked databases.
Earlier, in September 2019, a server containing data of more than 419 million Facebook user profiles worldwide was leaked online. Of these, there are data of 133 million US Facebook users, 18 million UK users and over 50 million Vietnamese users.
