Irish Data Commissioner Launches Probe Over Facebook Attack

Facebook’s lead regulator in the European Union, the Irish Data Protection Commissioner (DPC), commenced an investigation into a massive cyberattack on the social networking site that the company disclosed last week. Facebook said that hackers had stolen login codes that allowed them to access nearly 50 million Facebook accounts, its worst-ever security breach given the unprecedented level of potential access.
