Security researchers found an online database containing the private information of over 267 million Facebook users exposed on the internet. It contained the Facebook IDs, phone numbers, and real names of the users.

They posit that the origins of the database probably lie in Facebook API abuse by criminals in Vietnam or an illegal data scraping operation.
