On April 4 (local time), it was revealed that over 500 million Facebook users’ personal information cache data were disclosed in the hacking forum. The personal information leaked this time includes Facebook ID and location information, date of birth, career, phone number, and e-mail address. In the midst of this, Have I Been Facebooked, a website that checks whether or not your personal information has been leaked by phone number, appeared.
This site was created by computer science students and developers at the University of Milan, Italy. When you enter the site, you will see a phrase under the search bar at the top of the screen stating that unlike Facebook, it does not store any personal information.
When you open the pull-down menu on the left side of the search box, the country code for international calls is displayed. Select it here, enter the phone number you signed up for on Facebook, and click the search button. If no information has been leaked, a green background appears with You have not been Facebooked. Developers are also publishing the site code on GitHub. Related information can be found here.
