Ron Bowles, a security consultant, has unveiled the personal disclosed data of 100m Facebook users by scanning users’ profiles using a security code.

The prepared list holds the URL of every searchable Facebook user's profile, their name and unique ID, which can also be downloaded from the Pirate Bay, the world's biggest file-sharing website. Around 1,000 users have already downloaded the same.

As per Bowles, this move has been taken to address privacy issues.

Facebook made a statement to the BBC news, saying that the shared information was already available online. Its users are free to publish the information they want to share and along with Facebook, it is also present in Google, Bing, and other search engines

The statement added, "No private data is available or has been compromised".

But users are considering such a thing as against their privacy.

Such a privacy attack was bound to happen and Facebook also knew that. So, it should have taken steps to rectify the same, as told to BBC by Simon Davies from the watchdog Privacy International. He further added that it’s a matter of great surprise that Facebook with hundreds of engineers could not identify such a situation and there have been no allegations against the website for their negligence.

There is no threat of data getting stolen by the hackers, as told by some sources.
