Data Protection Commission Investigating Disclosure of Facebook User Data

Ireland’s privacy agency is launching an investigation into a trove of information from roughly half a billion Facebook users that has been leaked and is circulating online. “This dataset was reported to contain personal data relating to approximately 533 million Facebook users worldwide,” the country's Data Protection Commission (DPC) said in a release.
