Ukrainian steals data of 178 million people on "Facebook" and sells it!
The US company, "Facebook", filed a lawsuit against a Ukrainian citizen in his country, accusing him of stealing the data of 178 million users and selling them through social networking sites.
Facebook representatives noted that from January 2018 to September 2019, Alexander Solonchenko (also known by the pseudonym Solomami) gained access to the account identification data and phone numbers of 178 million users of the network, and for this purpose used a special program that automatically sends requests to users through the Messenger app.
According to the prosecution, "Solomami sold the stolen data in a specialized forum on the Internet, and also published on the portal the data of 10 million users of Ukraine's Privatbank and a French analytical company."
"Solonchenko acted in violation of the terms of service and platform rules," the statement said.
The Facebook administration expects that "the court will oblige Solonchiko to compensate her for the damage and prevent him from using the services of the site."
