A ruling by the Federal Court of Justice (BGH) in Germany has stated that victims of a Facebook data breach are entitled to €100 in damages each.
In 2019, a massive database of information on more than 500 million Facebook users started to circulate online. It turns out that Facebook had a feature that let Facebook users find other people on the platform via their phone numbers. That same feature was misused by the attackers who managed to scrape information for more than half a billion people.
