Facebook says Cambridge Analytica fiasco worse than we thought

Until now, it was reported that 50 million people's data had been co-opted from the social network. Facebook said today it's 87 million.

The news comes more than two weeks after Facebook first said it banned Cambridge Analytica for harvesting the data from a third part quiz app called "thisisyourdigitalife."

People will also no longer be able to search for Facebook profiles by typing phone numbers and email addresses into the social network's search box. That's because Facebook said it left people vulnerable to having their public profiles scraped by bad actors.
