Facebook Data Breach -- What To Do Next
Yesterday, Facebook notified users of a massive data breach affecting over 50 million people. However, in an updated statement yesterday, it did admit the hack affected those who use Facebook to log into other accounts. If you've been affected by the breach, Facebook logged you out of your account yesterday. Facebook has admitted this could be an issue, but it can be hard to know what you've logged into using your account. As Facebook investigates the breach, it will be interesting to see the regulatory impact.

Internal emails show Facebook Inc. considered charging companies for continued access to user data several years ago, a step that would have marked a dramatic shift away from the social-media giant's policy of not selling that information, according to an unredacted court document viewed by The Wall Street Journal. The emails in the document also indicate that Facebook employees discussed pushing some advertisers to spend more in return for increased access to user information.
