ByteBreaker’s Bogus Bonanza: The Facebook Data Breach That Doesn’t Add Up!

ByteBreaker claims to have scraped 1.2 billion Facebook account details through API abuse, but the math doesn’t add up—1.2 billion records shouldn’t fit into 200 million rows. The inconsistencies continue with contradictory Telegram handles. Is ByteBreaker a data-breach mastermind or just playing a game of cyber charades?

Hot Take:

Oh, ByteBreaker, you sly dog! While you claim to have cracked the Facebook code and scraped 1.2 billion accounts, your math appears to be as scrambled as a Rubik’s Cube in a blender. With discrepancies in data rows and a non-existent Telegram handle, it seems your “billion-dollar” data heist is more like a house of cards ready to tumble. Meanwhile, Facebook and other platforms must be feeling like they’re in a never-ending game of Whac-A-Mole with these pesky API abusers. Perhaps it’s time for everyone to upgrade their hammers!

Key Points:

  • ByteBreaker claims to have scraped 1.2 billion Facebook accounts via API abuse.
  • Sample data overlaps with a previous breach but is insufficient for conclusive comparison.
  • Inconsistencies found in ByteBreaker’s account listings and Telegram handle.
  • API abuse and web scraping are significant threats to various platforms.
  • Meta (Facebook’s parent company) has been contacted for comments on the breach.
