A few days ago, news leaped about a new security issue on Facebook. The social network was seen as a vulnerability exploited by attackers, and at least 50 million accounts were hacked or their data accessed. This is one of the worst security problems for the social network this year.
That is why there seems to be an ongoing class action in the United States. With the intention of condemning the social network for this new security problem.
One user in California and another in Virginia have made this decision and have already filed their complaints. However, more Facebook users are expected to make a similar decision in the next few days. So it is to be expected that they will join together in a class action lawsuit against the social network, which is not experiencing its best moment these weeks. The company’s CEO has not yet made a clear statement about this attack. The security breach has been acknowledged and is currently under investigation.
We will see how these complaints develop on Facebook and whether the number of users making a decision will increase or not. But it could be a serious problem for the most widespread social network in the world.
