We all known that Facebook is a very popular social media used by everyone. But here is a news for all Facebook user. Cyber-criminals are claiming they have access to information of 120 million accounts and private messages of 81,000 Facebook user accounts. And according to the BBC, they offer to sell them at 8p per profile. 

This data breach was firstly found in September after one of the hacker kept the data for sale on dark web. The message details were obtained with the help of malicious browser extension which was downloaded or added on the victims browser. This malicious extension scraps the users account and steals data from the cookies from victim's browser and then revels all the private messages to the attacker. These private information and messages were sold at the rate of 10 cents per account. 

The data may have been extracted through malicious extension. But Facebook Assure there user that they have taken appropriate security measures to ensure that the malicious extensions are no longer available to download and users are safe to use Facebook.
