University student Zamaan Qureshi, who works on social media for the ad-hoc group of activists who call themselves the Real Facebook Oversight Board, was gobsmacked enough by news about the massive Facebook data leak from a few days ago that he decided to do some digging.
First, he looked himself up on the "Have I Been Pwned" website, which has done a good job of quickly collecting data on Facebook users caught up in the recent breach so that they can check and see if they're affected. Qureshi used the phone lookup feature that "Have I Been Pwned" offers, and he found out that -- yep, his data was included in the breach. After investigating a bit more to see just how much data that the world's largest social network has on him, though, that's when things started to look even creepier.
