Report: Apple and Facebook Handed Over Private User Data to Hackers Posing as Law Enforcement
A recent report reveals that both Apple and Facebook provided private user data to hackers who posed as law enforcement officials. The hackers used forged “emergency data requests” to trick the Masters of the Universe into handing over sensitive information such as IP addresses and phone numbers for their targets.
Bloomberg reports that Apple and Facebook (now known as Meta) provided user data to hackers who posed as law enforcement officials, tricking the multi-billion-dollar Masters of the Universe. The tech giants reportedly handed over basic subscribers details including customer addresses, phone numbers, and IP addresses.
The user data was handed over to hackers in mid-2021 in response to forged law enforcement “emergency data requests.” These requests are usually only provided with a search warrant or subpoena signed by a judge, according to sources.
