We all know what happened with Facebook recently. And it was a huge shock since a lot of sensitive data was exposed, ranging from photos to actual private conversations between users.
But, all this didn't just happened overnight.
Four years ago, Alexander Kogan created a quiz type app that about 270,000 people used. And this led to data of other 80,000,000 users to be exposed.
If you or a friend of yours used "This is Your Digital Life" - the name of the app, your data was most likely exposed with Cambridge Analytica.
Some of those that didn't got affected, received a message that directed them to the Apps and Websites section to see which apps and websites they're logged in, so they could see and be well aware what info they were sharing with other parties.
If you weren't affected by Cambridge Analytica, and didn't receive any message, I still advise you to know what info you're sharing. To do so click here.
You'll see a lot of apps and websites here. Even if you still remove them, your data may be still in their servers. So to completely remove it, contact them directly on their Facebook page/Website/email and ask them to do so, they're obligated or legal actions can be taken.
But what if you're not exactly sure if your data was exposed or not? Fortunately, Facebook released a tool to see if you or any of your friends got affected, in a try to gain it's massive trust loss.
Here's the tool.
So, were you lucky enough to not get your data exposed? - If so, share with us in the comments.
