Facebook deletes pages advertising stolen identities
Facebook has deleted a large number of pages that were used to advertise and sell social security numbers, home addresses and credit card numbers of several dozens of people on its social network.
The move came after the American website Motherboard published reports that hackers had advertised the sale of private user data on Facebook, and that the website kept posts containing that information for years without >> Pročitaj celu vest na sajtu N1 televizija << deleting them.
Following the report, Facebook shares dropped 3.8 percent to $159.58, news agency Hina reported on Tuesday.
"The posts containing information on social security numbers or credit card numbers are not allowed on Facebook, and we remove any such material upon discovery," Facebook's spokesperson said.
