In case you haven’t heard the news, 100 million Facebook accounts have been swiped and all their information has been published in one gigantic torrent, at the popular torrent web site, The Pirate Bay.
The BBC reports that a computer expert by the name of Ron Bowles created a crawler that went through all Facebook accounts looking for profile information which users had not manually opted to hide in their profile settings.
Supposedly, he did not collect or at least, did not include phone numbers, street addresses or emails.
So what’s on that 2.78 Gb torrent then?
We’ll have to wait until the download finishes in about thirty minutes.
Chances are that since the data consist of 20% of Facebook’s 500,000,000 users we will find plenty of information on domainers as well 😀
You won’t find me there as I am the only one in the world that still does not have facebook,tweeter or myspace or on any timewaster BS sites except on domaingang
This is the real deal folks. Huge amounts of information.
I can not wait to download this and see what Sally and Karen’s kids have been up to. I bet Junior did something funny each and every hour today.
I treat facebook like it’s on a billboard on times square.
Did you really use that astronaut photo on facebook???
You tell me MR. Data.
Actually I did
I too have started the download. Cant wait to see what is in it… Hope that i don’t find my account in it. 😉
This will change the way online marketing is done. This will become a must have for all online marketers…
